Bordering the bottom of the oval, a semicircular gold scroll inscribed with the words "HAEC PROTEGIMUS" in black, the scroll ends folded twice and forked with the points up below a border of gold oak leaves terminating at either side of a gold acorn with point up at top center, crossed in front two swords their gold hilts emerging from the folds of the scroll and their white blades terminating outside the oak leaf border.

Symbolism:

The oak leaves symbolize strength and courage and the crossed swords indicate the command's mission to defend the Nation's Capital. The motto translates to "This We Guard."
