The other cross section seems to be around Death Valley (Telescope point?) The shield has a cross, I like the chessboard assessment of light and dark but could also carry the significance of the Armor of God. Possibly Japan with the red circle as they share similar Chinese astrology. The white tiger representing King, awakening, the West, Fall, and metal. The only other winged tiger I can find in history is a connection to Dionysus. There were older space command patches that used a bengal tiger and the four directions with a key in the middle.
