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.
E.R., 7 July 2008
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.

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.

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>.
