Description
On a blue heptagon shaped embroidered item, a soldier red disc centrally placed and displaying a white triquetra, the disc emitting four white arrows toward each directional point (North, South, East, and West); all within a 1/8 inch (.32 cm) red border. The overall dimension is 2 3/4 inches (6.99 cm) in diameter.
Symbolism
Red, white, and blue are the nation’s colors. The heptagon signifies the seven Army values: loyalty, duty, respect, selfless service, honor, integrity, and personal courage. Blue suggests the expeditionary nature of the unit, representing the waters of Puget Sound, located in Washington State, where the Command activated. The soldier red disc with the blue background alludes to the unit’s Logistical mission of continual worldwide support. The triquetra, Latin for “three cornered” indicates the three primary branches of logistics - Transportation, Ordnance, and Quartermaster - which closely coordinated, will sustain the fight to the end. The arrows denote the Command’s four functional areas of expertise: Transportation, Maintenance and Munitions, Supply and Services, and Petroleum and Water.
Background
The shoulder sleeve insignia was approved effective 16 September 2009. (TIOH Drawing Number A-1-993)
