Shield
Buff is the primary color traditionally associated with the Quartermaster Corps. The division of the shield into two parts represents the dual function of supply and support. The fourteen gold boxes refer to the direct support through supplies and service. They also symbolize the former numerical designation of the unit. The two fleurs-de-lis allude to the two battle honors awarded the unit for service in the European Theater, World War II.
Crest
The sword, indicative of the military forces, and the key, alluding to storekeeping functions, symbolize the control of military supplies by the Quartermaster Corps. The triangle is a symbol of balance and here further emphasizes the dual function of supply and support. The star represents the Lone Star State of Texas and denotes the location of the 61st Quartermaster Battalion at Fort Hood, Texas. The wreath signifies honor and achievement of receiving two campaign participation credits during World War II for Northern France and Rhineland.
The coat of arms was originally approved for the 14th Quartermaster Battalion on 22 May 1962. It was redesignated effective 16 October 2015, for the 61st Quartermaster Battalion and amended to add a crest and update the symbolism.
