The United States Army is one of the three military departments (Army, Navy and Air Force) which reports to the Department of Defense. The modern US Army has its roots in the Continental Army, which was formed on 14 June 1775. A shoulder sleeve insignia (SSI), is an embroidered patch worn on some uniforms of the United States Army. The United States Transportation Command (USTRANSCOM) is one of ten unified commands of the United States Department of Defense. The SSI in this image was approved for the 425th Transportation Brigade in 1967.
