Symbolism
Scarlet and buff are the colors associated with Support. The six-pointed star suggests superior achievement and alludes to the unit's numerical designation. The demi-fleur-de-lis symbolizes the unit's World War II campaign participation in France. The double taeguk refers to the two Republic of Korea Presidential Unit Citations awarded the unit for service in the Korean War. The bamboo further alludes to the unit's many Korean campaign participation credits.
