Distinctive Unit Insignia


Description/Blazon
A gold color metal and enamel device 1 1/8 inches (2.86cm) in height overall consisting of a shield blazoned: Per chevron debased Buff (Or) and Vert an oak tree Proper superimposed in base by two quills saltirewise Argent. Attached below the shield a black scroll doubled red and inscribed "HOME OF CHAMPIONS" in gold.

Symbolism
Buff (gold) is the primary color traditionally used by Support units. The chevron, a symbol of support and solidity, resembles a hill or mound and, when combined with the oak, for strength and stamina, suggests the arms of Baumholder and the unit's location. The quills, crossed for cooperation and teamwork, highlight the unit's mission.

Background
The distinctive unit insignia was approved on 16 Jun 1995.
