SEAL BLAZON
Shield. Gules, a pile inverted Argent, overall a stylized representation of the Engineer castle insignia Or; all within a diminished bordure of the last.
Crest. From a wreath Or and Gules, an eagle with wings displayed inverted clutching a sledge hammer and rifle in saltire all Proper.
SYMBOLISM
Shield. The castle insignia represents the long tradition of fortification work done by military engineers and honors of the tradition of General Douglas MacArthur’s 14K gold castle pin being passed down to each successive Chief of Engineers. The pile inverted alludes to a drafting compass, a classic tool of the engineer and topographer, conveying precision and craftsmanship. The colors scarlet and white are the official colors of the Army Corps of Engineers, and the color gold exemplifies excellence.
Crest. The crossed sledge hammer and rifle pay homage to both construction and combat engineers and their significant contributions towards the Army’s mission. The eagle, embodying the spirit of the nation, clutching these tools indicates the Army Corps of Engineers can overcome any obstacle and are ready to spring into action at a moment’s notice.
Seal. The coat of arms as blazoned in full color on a circular dark gray background, edged gold, encircled by a black designation band edged gold, and inscribed “OFFICE OF THE CHIEF OF ENGINEERS” above and below “UNITED STATES ARMY”, between two small discs, all white.
Background. This Seal was approved 21 August 2018 for the Office of the Chief of Engineers.
