Distinctive Unit Insignia of the U.S. Army Element of Multinational Force - Iraq
Description: A gold color metal and enamel device 1 1/8 inches (2.86 cm) in width consisting of a rayed disc bearing a seven pointed star superimposed by two crossed scimitars points down in base; overall a human-head winged bull of Mesopotamia, all gold.
Symbolism: The rayed disc symbolizes the sun, optimism and Iraq’s future of reconstruction and the establishment of the democratic way of life. The star represents a vision of unity for the seven peoples of Iraq (Sunni, Shia, Kurd, Turkoman, Assyrian, Yazidi, Armenian) leading to a more secure, prosperous and free future for Iraqis. The crossed scimitars of the insignia recall the partnership between Multinational Forces and Iraqi Security Forces essential to bringing a democratic way of life to Iraq. The colossal statue of the Mesopotamian human-headed winged bull recalls the rich heritage of Iraq and underscores strength and protection for the people of Iraq. Gold is emblematic of honor and high achievement.
Background: The distinctive unit insignia was approved on 7 January 2005. It was amended to correct the description and symbolism on 18 February 2005. The insignia was amended to change the symbolism on 24 February 2005.
