Description:
A gold color metal and black enameled device 1 1/8 inches (2.86 cm) overall consisting of a black disc bearing the Alpha and Omega interlaced, overall between two laurel branches crossed in base with a sword superimposed on each all entwined by a riband, an eagle’s head erased, all gold.
Attached across the bottom is a black scroll doubled and inscribed with “PACTUM EXCELLO” in gold.
Black and gold are the dominate colors of the U.S. Army Acquisition Corps emblem.
The Greek “Alpha” and “Omega” are adapted from the organization’s emblem and symbolize the intricate continuous acquisition process and mission.
The eagle, our National symbol, represents vigilance and military preparedness.
Black alludes to dependability and solidarity, while gold signifies excellence and high ideals.
Laurel symbolizes honor and high achievement and the swords represent protection, service and support to mission accomplishment.
“Pactum Excello” is Latin for “Contracting Excellence” and refers to Acquisition soldiers performing contracting operations and functions in support of the soldier.
