MANEUVER SUPPORT CENTER, US ARMY
Official blazon
Distinctive Unit Insignia. Description: A gold color metal and enamel device 1 1/8 inches (2.86 cm) in height overall consisting of a white four-bastioned fort surmounted at center by a gold fusil enclosed by two red chevrons conjoined, one with point up, the other point down, and all surmounted at center by a vertical sword with black hilt and white blade, point down; in base on a black scroll of three segments curved at either side and looped across the lower point of the fort, the inscription "VICTORY THROUGH SKILL" in gold letters.
Origin/meaning
The four-bastioned fort represents Fort Leonard Wood. The red chevrons are symbolic of the blood spilled by Fort Leonard Wood soldiers and the sword denotes combat training. The black scroll in base, curving around the sides and across the fort symbol at center, suggests the continuous and unifying effort of Combat Support Units.
The distinctive unit insignia was originally approved for the US Army Training Center Engineer and Fort Leonard Wood on 19 May 1977. It was cancelled on 21 December 1994. The insignia was reinstated and redesignated with symbolism revised effective 1 October 1999, for the Maneuver Support Center, Fort Leonard Wood.
