To change information
Shoulder Sleeve Insignia

Description
On a yellow disc 3 inches (7.62cm) in diameter overall with a 1/8 inch (.32cm) golden yellow border, a 1 7/8 inches (4.76cm) red and blue taeguk superimposed by a silver gray sword throughout.

Symbolism
Silver gray and golden yellow are colors traditionally associated with the Finance Corps. The taeguk suggests the unit’s home area. The sword is indicative of support to the soldier. The golden yellow disc alludes to the bezant, a heraldic symbol for money, and refers to the unit’s mission.

Background
The shoulder sleeve insignia was originally approved for the 175th Finance Center on 21 November 1986. It was redesignated for the 175th Finance Command on 27 December 1993, with the description and symbolism revised. The insignia was redesignated for the 175th Finance Center on 6 December 2005. The insignia was cancelled per HQDA, G-1 direction and change of policy on 6 December 2007. (TIOH Drawing Number A-1-728)
