Insignia of the Army of the United States
Maroon reference chart of U.S. Army insignia in colour: arms and service emblems, aviation badges, officers' grades, cap insignia and enlisted grades, each labelled. This is an identification chart and the technique is faint here; the closest is transfer, the display of rank and honours as authority symbols.
