[edit] Distinctive Unit Insignia
- Description: A gold color metal and enamel device 1 3/16 inches (3.02 cm) in height overall consisting of a blue shield bearing a replica of the statue of General Andrew Jackson in gold, and all encircled by a continuous red scroll, the upper area inscribed “VICTORY” and in base “STARTS HERE” in gold letters.
- Symbolism: The statue of General Andrew Jackson for whom Fort Jackson was named stands at the main entrance of the Fort. The accomplishments and personal attributes of General Jackson set a standard of professionalism worthy of emulation by the personnel of the United States Army Training Center. The color red is for courage, blue for loyalty and the gold for achievement. The shield, which is traditionally associated with warriors, is symbolic of defense of country and exemplifies those qualities which must be inculcated upon the young men and women who pass through Fort Jackson during their early training. The motto “VICTORY STARTS HERE” is a constant reminder to trainer personnel of the overall purpose of their efforts.
- Background: The distinctive unit insignia was approved on 23 February 1976.
