Symbolism
Buff/gold and scarlet are the colors traditionally used by Support units. The mill-rind symbolizes support.

Black refers to solidarity and strength of purpose; scarlet denotes courage and sacrifice; gold signifies excellence. The circular garter alludes to the unit's all-encompassing mission and recalls the wheel of the Quartermaster insignia of branch.
