SAF CHAPLAINCY DEPARTMENT    VOJNI VIKARIJAT

      Na simboličnom nivou, znak predstavlja uključenost slovenskog naroda u povijesnu i kulturnu okolinu. Rad pripadnika vojničkog vikarijata temelji se na bogatoj tradiciji koja slovenski narod duhovno uzgajala i dizala narodni moral. Godina 745. ispisana u znaku povezuje se s krštenjem prvih karantanskih knezova Gorazda i Hotimira. Dan Vojničkog vikarijata slavi se 21. 09. jer je na taj dan, 2000. godine potpisan prvi sporazum koji je temelj za njegov službeni rad. Vikarijat omogućuje pružanje duševne brige za pripadnike vojske, ministarstva odbrane i njihovih familija, bez obzira na njihovu vjersku pripadnost. Osoblje Vikarijata uključuje glavnog kapelana, katoličkog te protestantskog zamjenika glavnog kapelana, vojne kapelane i pastoralne pomoćnike.

MILITARY MUSEUM   VOJNI MUZEJ 

      Oznaka Vojnog muzeja se satoji od crnog (sivog ili maskirnog) gotskog štita sa unutarnjim zlatno-crnim rubom. Znak daje dvije poruke: pisanu VOJAŠKI MUZEJ, koja kazuje da je nosilac pripada Vojnom muzeju SV-e i slikovnu koja simbolični prikazuje poslanje muzeja. Unutar štita, lijevo i desno se nalaze dvije grane, sastavljene od po devet zlatnih lipovih listova, u dnu spojenih peteljkom donjih listova i tako stavraju vijenac. Po sredini vijenca stoje atributi: zlatnom bojom izvezen pješčani sat ispod kojeg se ukrštaju listina (povelja) i mač. Pješčani sat simbolizira protok vremena, listina (povelja) pretstavlja povjesnu struku a mač je simbol oboružane i visoko osposobljene vojske.

      The insignia of the Military Museum consists of a black (gray or camouflage) Gothic shield with an inner gold-black border. The sign gives two messages: the written MILITARY MUSEUM, which says that the wearer belongs to the Military Museum of the SV, and the pictorial one, which symbolically shows the mission of the museum. Inside the shield, to the left and to the right, there are two branches, composed of nine golden linden leaves each, joined at the bottom by the stalk of the lower leaves, thus forming a wreath. In the middle of the wreath are the attributes: an hourglass embroidered in gold color, under which a document (charter) and a sword cross. The hourglass symbolizes the passage of time, the document (charter) represents a historical profession, and the sword is a symbol of an armed and highly trained army.
