Distinctive Unit Insignia


Description/Blazon
A gold color metal and enamel device 1 1/16 inches (2.70 cm) in height overall consisting of a white field on which is a blue equilateral triangle with one point down and centered on it a gold star of eight points extended to the sides, all enclosed by a golden arch supported by a semicircular blue scroll bearing the motto "SERVITIUM CUM COR" in gold.

Symbolism
The eight-pointed star composed of two four-pointed stars joined together alludes to the COSTAR origin of the unit.  The triangle stands for the three main functions of the battalion:  direct support maintenance, maintenance supply and evacuation support.  The color blue is for faithful service.  The golden arch denotes the Saint Louis area as the origin of most of the original personnel.  The motto translates to "Service With Courage."

Background
The distinctive unit insignia was originally approved for the 520th Maintenance Battalion on 6 March 1967.  It was redesignated for the 620th Support Battalion effective 16 September 1995.
