==SHOULDER SLEEVE INSIGNIA==.

• Description: On a dark green oblong arched at top and base 3 inches high and 2 1/2 inches wide overall a light green globe with dark green gridlines bearing a 5-pointed yellow star throughout and issuing from the lower edge of the globe to the height of the lateral arms of the star a yellow acute angle bearing a dark green arrowhead throughout its length with the lower edge of its blades coinciding with the lower edge of the star; all within a 1/8 inch yellow border. A black arced tab 11/16 inch in width, 2 1/2 inches in length containing the inscription "AIRBORNE" 5/16-inch in height in gold letters.

• Symbolism: Green and gold are the colors used for the US Army Military Police, and a star is emblematic of that branch of service. A star also connotes leadership and authority. The arrowhead is a symbol for military preparedness and protection. All of the above, along with the globe, symbolize the overall mission, capabilities and operational sphere of the organization.

• Background: The insignia was originally approved on July 16, 1981 for the 16th Military Police Brigade, then amended to add the "Airborne" tab on February 23, 1982.
