Distinctive Unit Insignia


Description/Blazon
A gold color metal and enamel device 1 1/8 inches (2.86 cm) in height consisting of a wheel, the hub cap blue rimmed gold and the tire brick red, the lower part of the tire inscribed "NEVER FAIL" in gold letters; surmounting the wheel above the inscription a gold capstan bound with a gold cable.

Symbolism

It stands for the loading and unloading of cargo at Transportation Water Terminals. The wheel refers to the Battalion's function of operating Inland Terminal transfer points.

Background
The distinctive unit insignia was approved on 2 February 1968.
