Origin/meaning
Maroon and white are the traditional colors of the Army Medical Corps. The five-pointed star pierced maroon suggests achievement in dental health care service for five major commands. The crosses, symbolic of mercy, allude to the five posts which the unit services.
The Distinctive Unit Insignia was approved on 24 January 1983.
