JOINT READINESS TRAINING CENTER PATCH

(Patch not available)

SYMBOLISM: The unit's mission of training rapid deployment forces is symbolized by the bayonet and wings.  The bayonet symbolizes military preparedness and the strike capability of rapid deployment forces which train at the JRTC.  The wings are emblematic of speed, mobility, and joint training with joint and combined partners.  The colors blue, yellow and red are traditionally associated with Infantry, Armor and Artillery and reflect the combined arms character of JRTC training.  The overall shape is reminiscent of an arch or portal and portrays the knowledge, education and training provided by the JRTC as the "doorway" to enhanced unit proficiency and skill.
