Shoulder Sleeve Insignia


Description/Blazon
On a red disc within a 1/8 inch (.32 cm) green border 2 1/2 inches (6.35 cm) in diameter overall, issuing from the top between two white five-pointed stars and surmounting two white horizontal bars, a green wedge point to base bordered white and bearing a larger white five-pointed star.

Symbolism
The three stars above the two bars and the colors red and white were suggested by the coat of arms of George Washington, whose portrait appears on the state flag of Washington and for whom the state is named.  The color green also refers to the state of Washington which is known as the "Evergreen State," the wedge shape and surrounding border alluding to the state's abundant forests.  The center star is depicted larger than the other two to emphasize the command and supervision of the organization.

Background
The shoulder sleeve insignia was originally approved for the 124th U.S. Army Reserve Command on 7 August 1968.  It was reassigned and authorized effective 16 April 1996, for the U.S. Army 124th Regional Support Command.  (TIOH Dwg. No. A-1-503)




Distinctive Unit Insignia


Description/Blazon
A gold color metal and enamel device 1 1/8 inches (2.86 cm) in height overall consisting of a white star between and above two smaller white stars, all above two white horizontal bars, and rising from base three green needle-leaf trees, the large center tree terminating above the upper bar and in front of two small trees with apexes above the lower bar, all on a red background enclosed by a gold scroll terminating on each side of the top star and inscribed "MEET THE CHALLENGE" in red letters.

Symbolism
The star at the apex emphasizes the command supervision mission of the organization.  The unit's location in the state of Washington is indicated by the three white stars and two bars upon a red background suggested by the coat of arms of George Washington, for whom the state was named.  The green needle-leaf trees also refer to the "Evergreen State."  Additionally, the treetops rising to the stars allude to the spirit of the Command's motto, "MEET THE CHALLENGE."
