Description

An ellipsis with a partially husked ear of corn in its center and flanked by a pair of symbols that represent fortified bases forms the Nebraska Army National Guard Element, Joint Force HQ Distinctive Unit Insignia that was approved for it on 1 October 2003. The ear of corn, along with the cornstalk holding it, is a reference to the state’s official nickname as the “Cornhusker State.”

A blue stripe denotes “flat water,” which is the rough translation of the Indian name of “Nebrathka” which they gave the Platte River. The overall elliptical shape is a reference to the state capital of Lincoln, location of the State HQ of the Army National Guard which itself is located in a shallow, elliptical area. The five-sided structures are forts that symbolize the state and the important role its militia played in the settling of America’s West.

This Distinctive Unit Insignia, also called a DUI or a unit crest, was first approved for HQ and HQ Detachment and non-color bearing units of the Nebraska Army National Guard on 9 July 1971. It was redesignated for the HQ, State Area Command, Nebraska Army National Guard on 30 December 1983. It was redesignated for its current unit on 1 October 2003.
