	A Federal Office Where Heraldry of Yore Is Only Yesterday - New York Times
		The officials were from the Institute of Heraldry, the government's chief guardian of insignia and heraldic tradition, and they were dismissing an oft-repeated canard about the presidential seal.
		The Institute of Heraldry, located for historical reasons within the Army, has a budget of $2.3 million and 24 employees, including four well-schooled "heraldic designers." But the handiwork of this little office has had an outsize influence on the public face of the military and the government.
		Mugno, the institute director, had been a student of military heraldry and said he got a thrill at the outset of the Iraq war, while he was still in the Marines and working in the Pentagon, when his proposal for the campaign medal was used on the reverse side.

	United States Army Institute of Heraldry - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		However, there was no coordinated military heraldry program until 1919, when an office within the United States Department of War Staff was established to approve and coordinate coats of arms and insignia of Army organizations.
		The Army Adjutant General’s office assumed responsibility of the Institute in 1962 when the Office of the Quartermaster General ceased to exist due to Army reorganization.
		As a result of a realignment in October 2004, responsibility for the Heraldic Program was assigned to The Administrative Assistant to the Secretary of the Army, Resources and Programs Agency, part of the United States Army.
