Buff and blue are colors associated with the Army Quartermaster Corps. The eagle, sword, and key are adapted from the Quartermaster branch insignia. Gold is the color of high ideals and excellence. The fleur-de-lis commemorates the unit’s campaign participation credits for Northern France and Central Europe in World War II. The roundels represent petroleum and water and the mission of distributing these vital resources to our troops. The American Dogwood is the state flower of Virginia and highlights the Group’s Virginia Army Reserve status. The motto translates to “Fuel The Victory.” | |||
The Distinctive Unit Insignia was approved on 2 October 2006. | |||
