Army emblem

A wreath surmonted by an eagle with spread wings, encircling a tank over two cannons crossed in saltire over two horizontal wings. All the elements are yellow, the inner fields of the emblem are white. There is Arabic writing in the upper and lower quarter of the saltire, saying al-Jaish al Kuwaiti (The Army of Kuwait).
