Distinctive Unit Insignia. Description: A Gold color metal and enamel device 1 1/8 inches (2.86 cm) in height overall consisting of a shield blazoned as follows: “Per fess Azure and Or a fess dancetty of four on the top and paly Sable, Argent, Celeste and Or, edged at the bottom Tenné between in chief three arrows, two saltirewise, one fesswise Yellow surmounted by a mullet of the sixth and in base three billets in fess of the third; all within, to each side and below, a tripartite Ultramarine Blue scroll inscribed “Dziil Bee Anéíijah” in Gold letters.
Origin/meaning
The home state of the battalion is represented by the color blue and by the single star in chief, referring to the flag of Arizona. The arrows, traditional native American weaponry, symbolize readiness and the mission of supply of materiel to Army personnel; the three billets in base represent mission elements of selection, evaluation and distribution. Black signifies strength and solidarity. The fess displays the four colors associated with the four sacred mountains of the Navajo, represented by the peaks of the fess. The barrulet below refers again to the home state of Arizona. Gold (yellow) alludes also to quartermaster responsibilities of wise stewardship of resources and denotes excellence.
The Coat of Arms and Distinctive Unit insignia was approved on 4 March 2005.
