The bite taken from corner of coin represents the unit's nickname as "dogface soldiers". The commander chose not to include the normal dog design because the Iraqi would be offended by the use of the image of a dog. The bite was his alternative to recognizing the unit heritage and but not offending the Iraqi's.
