Symbolism

SHIELD

The Red (Marine Corps Scarlet) signifies valiance, boldness, courage, hardiness, liberty, passion, patriotism and zeal. The National Flag Blue chevron reversed in chief symbolizes constancy, devotion, justice, loyalty, thinking and truth. The Gold saltire dovetailed signifies the four virtues of honor, nobleness, goodwill, and vigor. The saltier dovetail is a reinforcing sign of strength and seamless coordination. The wheel recalls the Marine Corps historic traditions and is taken in part from the specialized insignia worn by Marines assigned to the Quartermaster General of the Marine Corps prior to the Second World War, with the thirteen spokes and stars representing the early founding of our nation.


CREST

The Eagle, Globe and Anchor above the rolled and turned Gold and Marine Corps Scarlet torse represents the organizational focus of providing all aspects of logistical support to sustain the United States Marine Corps.


SUPPORTERS

The Mameluke sword and Model 1859 Non Commissioned Officer sword represent the Marine Corps warfighters who depend on timely logistical support throughout the globe.
