HOW DO I REQUEST DESIGN OF A DISTINCTIVE UNIT INSIGNIA?
A request for DUI should include a copy of the permanent orders activating the unit. After verifying any history and/or honors with the Center of Military History, TIOH will prepare a proposed design and forward it to the unit for concurrence. After the unit commander approves the design, TIOH will prepare a manufacturing drawing and authorization letter for the insignia. TIOH will contract at no cost to the unit for the development of prototype samples and upon its completion will forward a sample to the unit. The unit is also provided instructions on how to obtain the insignia through local purchase procedures.
