The gold brown eagle, detailed in dark brown and highlighted light tan, with a white head and tail; and yellow beak, eye and talons detailed in light tan, is grasping in his right talon a green olive branch, detailed in dark green, and in his left tallon 13 arrows with white arrowheads and feathers, and light tan shafts. The eagle is flanked by an arc of four yellow stars detailed in light tan, and symbolizing the fusion of the four armed services into a unified command. |
