 ===Origin/meaning===
+Shoulder Sleeve Insignia: Buff and light blue are the colors traditionally used by the Quartermaster Corps. Black denotes solidity and refers to petroleum; the light blue flash represents speed and quick response. The vertical stripe symbolizes the flow of fuel and water, while the annulet, suggesting a wheel (as on the Quartermaster insignia of branch), highlights the constant movement of supplies and materiel.
+Distinctive Unit Insignia: Buff (gold) is traditionally associated with the Quartermaster Corps. The chevron denotes strength, the potente edges suggest the wards of a key, thereby suggesting the Quartermaster Corps. Black denotes dependability while alluding to fuel and the unit's motto. The sword implies readiness. The annulets recall the Meritorious Unit Commendation and four campaign credits awarded for service in World War II. The laurel stands for honor.
+The Shoulder Sleeve Insignia was approved on 22 June 1998. The Distinctive Unit Insignia was approved on 29 April 1993.
