During the F-Air 2008, an International Aeronautical Fair held in Rionegro, Antioquia, I spotted several flags, one of them the School of Artillery flag (Escuela de Artillería (ESART)). The flag is similar to EAS but featuring black instead of red.
The School of Artillery was established on September 1, 1937, in Bogota.

The School's name is Escuela de Artillería "General Carlos  Julio Gil Colorado", and on the flag, it reads in silver (or white?) capital letters GRAL. CARLOS JULIO GIL C..
The complete Coat of Arms information can be seen at the official website.

Jarig Bakker , 9 September 1999

Here is the emblem as appear at "Himnos y Símbolos de Nuestra Colombia", by Julio César García. Camer Editores. 2000. ISBN 958-33-1489-7. (image from page 196). The Military Intelligence is a Branch of the Colombian Army.
E.R., 2 July 2005

Is there a reason it uses the insignia of United States Army Intelligence?
Nathan Lamm, 24 October 2005

I do not know if this is the same insignia as the United States Army Intelligence. If that's true then it could possibly be because there were guidelines coming from the U.S. military in either establishing or reestructuring the Intelligence Service.
E.R., 24 October 2005

The correct name should be "Escuela de Inteligencia y Contrainteligencia Brigadier General Ricardo Charry Solano" (Brigadier General Ricardo Charry Solano Intelligence and Counterintelligence School). Official website at <www.esici.edu.co>.
