The USMA non-subdued branch insignia is the USMA coat of arms, 1 inch in height. The coat of arms consists of the
shield of the United States bearing a Greek sword surmounted by the helmet of Pallas. The shield supports an eagle
displayed with scroll and USMA motto, in gold-colored metal. Permanent professors, registrars, and civilian instructors
of the USMA wear this insignia in the same manner as prescribed in paragraph 28–12 for all other branch insignia (see
fig 28–126).
