Shoulder Sleeve Insignia: Scarlet is the color traditionally used by Support units, with which Installation Management Command (IMCOM) is associated. The heptagon suggests the seven geographic regions overseen and serviced by the organization. The chain links signify durability, while the ring denotes continuous service. The combination of the chain links and ring symbolize the Installation Management Command's continuous worldwide support to all the soldiers, civilians, their families and units. The swords refer to teamwork and the focus on preparing and training soldiers for combat - to defend and protect. Yellow reflects the high honor and values of IMCOM. Green, associated with the agency's parent organization - Assistant Chief of Staff for Installation Management - represents the IMCOM's stewardship of installations.
