Symbolism
Buff and scarlet are the colors associated with Support groups.  The A frame with basket is indicative of Korea and reflects the units motto and mission.  The white stars on the red and blue taeguk recall the predominant colors in both countries flags and symbolize the close United States-South Korean relationship.  The twenty points of the four stars suggest the units numerical designation and are placed on a taeguk indicating the units location.

Background
The distinctive unit insignia was approved on 29 January 1986.
