Refrain: Then its Hi! Hi! Hey! The Armys on its way. Count off the cadence loud and strong, TWO! THREE! For where eer we go, You will always know, That the Army Goes Rolling Along. Valley Forge, Custers ranks, San Juan Hill and Pattons tanks, And the Army went rolling along. Minute men, from the start, Always fighting from the heart, And the Army keeps rolling along.

SYMBOLISM
BACKGROUND
Mission Promote military dental readiness while providing excellent health care . Statement Excellent expectations in healthcare for the military community.
Flag For The Army Medical Department Regiment The Regimental flag displays a distinctive design developed for the U.S. Army Medical Department Regiment. The Regimental Distinctive Insignia (RDI) was designed by The Institute of Heraldry, and is one of the oldest crests in the Army today. The 20 stars represent the number of states in the Union on April 14, 1818, the date of enactment of the congressional authorization by which the Medical Department of the Army was first organized. The alternating red and white stripes on the left side of the shield are the 13 stripes of the American Flag representing the 13 original United States colonies. The green staff is the staff of Aesculapius, son of the Greek mythological god Apollo and the first healer. Green is the color associated with the Medical Corps during the last half of the nineteenth century. The phrase, "To Conserve Fighting Strength" gives testimony to the AMEDD mission as combat multipliers and guardians of our nation's strength and peace. The RDI is known as the "shield" when located on the Flag or the Coat of Arms. The shield is superimposed on the chest ofCoatAmericanfound above the Eagle on the Regimental The Crest, that portion of the the of Arms eagle. Flag, is composed of: The cross and wreath of laurel was adapted from devices authorized for hospital stewards and other enlisted men when the Hospital Corps was established in 1887. (A similar cross and laurel wreath is found on the Combat Medic Badge.) The seven silver stars representing the seven corps of the Army Medical Department Regiment - including the Enlisted Corps. In the olden days, the Crest was held onto the helmet by a twisted band of cloth called a wreath. The colors on the wreath of the AMEDD Regiment are maroon and white, signifying the first two named colors on the shield. The Crest, as originally used, was placed upon the top of the helmet of the chief or leader to enable his followers to distinguish him during battle.
