The grape leaf is used to represent the Central Europe and Rhineland area and the two flames symbolize the two battle honors awarded the unit for these campaigns during World War II. The flames also relate to the Ordnance Corps insignia and allude to the unit's descent. The crusader sword refers to Vietnam.
