Description
On a triparted shield of three colors: the top white, the right side green, and the left side blue; with a 1/8 inch (.32 cm) yellow border, 2 7/8 inches (7.30 cm) in width and 3 inches (7.62 cm) in height overall, a golden yellow wheel with five golden yellow spokes on a brick red background.
Symbolism
The colors blue, green and white represent sea, land and air, the environment in which transportation units function. The colors meet at the wheel which indicates the composite mission of the Brigade. The wheel represents the continuity of the 319th over the years, it also represents movement and thus refers to the 319th’s motto “ACCENT ON ACTION.” The shield is the same shape as the shield in the Transportation Corps branch insignia. Brick red and golden yellow are the colors of the Transportation Corps.
Background
The shoulder sleeve insignia was approved on 22 January 1985. It was amended to include the dimensions of the insignia on 19 February 1985. (TIOH Drawing Number A-1-702)
