Unit / Organizational Signs
Organizational signs identify the different organizations within a facility. Thus there will likely be more than one organization listed on a single sign. Organizational signs are not building directories identifying subordinate organizations, staff, or sections in a facility – if such is required, organizations should purchase building directories for installation inside the building. However, where an organization’s primary staff is split between buildings, those staff located away from the facility containing the headquarters, may have a separate sign indicating what primary staff is located in that building. It is not necessary to identify every facility or organization on an installation: preparing and installing an organizational sign costs approximately $300. Organizational signs will rarely be made for organizations below detachment level for military organizations unless warranted by customer volume. They will not be made for other non-military organizations unless warranted by customer volume. The standard organizational sign used in the USAG Kaiserslautern area of responsibility is brown laminated aluminum sheet, approx. 2.5 ft If available at the DPW, an official designated unit insignia (unit crest) will be placed on the sign. If not available at the DPW, the organization may provide their insignia as a self-adhesive label (6 inches in diameter) to the DPW for application. If not available as such, the organization may provide a graphic copy of the insignia in electronic format (best quality possible). The DPW may then have the insignia reproduced as an appliqué (decal). Names signs are authorized only for unit commanders, CSM, 1SG, and directors of major facilities. These will be installed at unit headquarters only, not at subordinate unit facilities (motor pools, shops, barracks, etc.). Mottos will not be placed on signs. Except for facilities providing a major key service to the community, signs indicating hours of operation will not be fabricated or installed by the DPW. While providing a measure of convenience, this is outweighed by the resources required to keep up with the frequent changes on numerous such signs throughout the community. If a facility’s hours of operation are other than normal duty hours, the organization, in coordination with the building coordinator, may consider posting them at or near the facility entrance by means of self-printed printed matter (posters, labels, etc.).
