Symbolism of Regimental Insignia
The crossed cannons are representative of the Ordnance Corps' early relationship to the Artillery.
The flaming bomb, also known as the shell and flame, represents the armament of days gone by, while the energy it connotes is applicable to the weapons of our own day.
The cannoneer's belt, which encircles the flaming bomb and crossed cannons, is embossed with the words "ORDNANCE CORPS U.S.A." and represents the traditional association between munitions and armament.
The white background symbolizes the Ordnance Corps' motto, "ARMAMENT FOR PEACE."
