Summary

Description Seal of the United States Central Security Service, part of the National Security Agency. The seal dates from 1996. The five-pointed gold mullet is a symbol of ideologies representing the services' common beliefs. Between each point of the mullet is a symbol of the four cryptologic service elements and the American eagle as blazoned on the NSA emblem. The emblems appear in the following order from the upper right: United States Marine Corps; Army Intelligence and Security Command; National Security Agency; Air Intelligence Agency; and the Naval Security Group. Each are equally balanced around a five point star on which is centered the symbol of NSA/CSS, who "provides the funding, direction, and guidance to all of America's SIGINT activities". For more information, see here. The blue background of the CSS emblem represents fidelity and steadfastness.
