Summary
| Description |
Distinctive Unit Insignia for the 61st Quartermaster Battalion, United States Army.
Buff is the primary color traditionally associated with the Quartermaster Corps. The division of the shield into two parts represents the dual function of supply and support. The fourteen gold boxes refer to the direct support through supplies and service. They also symbolize the former numerical designation of the unit. The two fleurs-de-lis allude to the two battle honors awarded the unit for service in the European Theater, World War II. The distinctive unit insignia was originally approved for the 14th Quartermaster Battalion on 22 May 1962. It was redesignated for the 14th Supply and Service Battalion on 24 November 1965. The insignia was redesignated effective 16 October 2015, for the 61st Quartermaster Battalion with the description and symbolism revised. |
