Light blue and buff are the Quartermaster branch colors. The stylized sun depicted with eight rays, each composed of three smaller rays, is a symbol of the Philippines. This denotes the 354TH Quartermaster Group’s campaign participation in the Battle of Leyte, as well as the receipt of the Philippine Presidential Unit Citation for their noteworthy involvement in that conflict. Displayed behind the Philippine sun is a light blue background, which is expressive of the sky and the wide reaching scope of the group’s responsibilities. The black intertwining bands encircling the outside of the sun refer to a non-stop flow of fuel that is provided by the group as part of their primary mission. The weaving motion around and through the rays demonstrates how critical and integrated the fuel supply is to logistics and operations, as well as how crucial its function was during the unit’s involvement in Leyte. The fuel lines also form an “O” which serves as a subtle reference to the group’s home state of Ohio. Focusing inward, the rays culminate at an eight pointed star, representing an explosion or fight and the unit’s ability to “FUEL THE FORCE” when it is most crucial.
