Insignia Description
An embroidered insignia, as described above in subdued colors, except the size is 2 3/4 inches (6.99 cm) in width and 2 1/2 inches (6.35 cm) in height. The insignia is on an olive drab square background measuring 3 1/2 inches (8.89 cm) in width and height.

Symbolism
Some elements of the design are adapted from the United States Army Flag and the Seal of the Department of the Army (a snake, the motto and scroll and the armor). Also contained in the design is the torch of liberty and 13 stars.

History
The metal badge was first approved as the distinctive insignia for wear by trainer personnel assigned to U.S. Army Training Activities on 15 January 1958. The insignia for Trainer Personnel was authorized for wear by drill sergeants assigned to training commands in 1964. At this time, the insignia was authorized for wear in metal and embroidered form. The embroidered version was manufactured in full color (yellow, green and black) and subdued. In 1969, policy was changed and it was mandatory to wear subdued insignia on field clothing. At this time, the Drill Sergeant Identification Badge, embroidered, was no longer authorized for wear in full color.
