The JAGWAR coin is not just a badge, no mere token to attain.
It is, rather, a reminder of the true significance of achieving membership in the Order:
one’s dutiful embrace of the solemn responsibility to build a better Army JAG Corps.

The Order of the JAGWAR Insignia incorporates the U.S. Army JAG Corps’s branch insignia in the mouth of a Jaguar, prominently displayed front-and-center beneath the Order’s tab and atop the JAG Corps’s official branch color (navy blue).
The official JAGWAR coin—bestowed upon Candidates who meet all Order eligibility requirements—is a double-sided 2.25" coin featuring the Order Insignia on its front. On its reverse side, the Corps’s motto borders the exemplary “dual professional” in action, flanked on either side by the distinctive regimental insignia (left) and the scales of justice (right).

In May 1890, "a sword and pen crossed and wreathed, embroidered in silver" was originally adopted for wear by officers of the Judge Advocate General's Department. In 1899, the color was changed to gold, signifying excellence. The pen represents the recording of testimony and the sword symbolizes the military character of the Corps. The wreath is symbolic of honor.
The enlisted branch of service insignia was authorized on 4 August 1967. The regimental insignia and regimental coat of arms were approved 22 August 1986.
On 1 July 2016, the Order of the JAGWAR incorporated the Army JAG Corps branch insignia into the design of the Order Insignia.
