The leaf and 2 acorns is the flash for the Irish Defense Force Training Center. The site encompasses the Curragh Camp and the Glen of Imaal and these large areas offer room for cross-country driver training, artillery range and more. From 1960 until 1964 members of the DFTC assisted the UN in the Congo and in 1964 sent members to Cyprus to help keep peace between the Turkish and Greek citizens of that country. This peace keeping action lasted until 2005.
