Army Superior Unit Award

A lapel pin to be worn by all recipients of the Army Superior Unit Award was requested by The Adjutant General (TAG) in a memorandum to the Secretary of the Army on 17 September 1991. This proposal was given as the award was being presented to units having significant numbers of civilians assigned, that were not being recognized for their efforts. The Secretary of the Army approved the proposal on 12 December 1991, thus permitting the issue of an emblem to both military and civilian personnel.
