Insignia Description
A gold color metal and enamel device 1 3/16 inches (3.02cm) in height overall consisting of a disc divided horizontally, dark blue above and the smaller area below in red; in base four white demi-columns and at top a gold demi-lion with red claws and tongue all encircled by a gold wreath. Insignia to be worn in pairs.

Symbolism
Dark blue and scarlet are the colors traditionally associated with the Adjutant General’s Corps and denote the Command’s affiliation with the Corps that has traditionally served as the Army’s personnel and administrative system operators. The gold lion is adapted from the City of Schwetzingen’s coat of arms and refers to the unit’s first home in the European Theater. The four pillars represent the four main areas of the 1st PERSCOM mission – personnel, administrative management, morale support and postal. The round device framed by a gold wreath signifies the totality and denotes the quality of service provided to the commanders and soldiers in the Theater Army.

History
The insignia was originally approved on 14 August 1981.  It was amended on 16 August 1983, to reflect that the insignia is manufactured in pairs.  It was cancelled effective 15 October 2008, when the unit became a Center.
