United States Navy

In the U.S. Navy, the Command Ashore insignia is a gold metal, three-pronged trident device with a trident centered on an elliptically shaped laurel wreath. Formerly known as the Command Ashore/Project Manager insignia (or Command Ashore/Major Program Manager insignia), it is a breast insignia that recognizes the responsibilities and importance of command ashore and major program management.

Officers below flag rank (captain and below) who have, or had, command ashore or served as a project manager wear the Command Ashore/Project Manager insignia. It is one of two badges known as Command Insignia; the other being the Command at Sea insignia. Officers wear this insignia in the same manner as that prescribed for the Command at Sea insignia.

Per the Coast Guard Uniform Regulations, COMDTINST M1020.6F, chapter 3.E., the command ashore and command afloat insignia are considered equivalent.
