Coat of Arms: Buff is the primary color traditionally used by the Quartermaster Corps. Black represents oil and its derivatives. The annulet and the small roundels suggest wheels and bearings and the unit's POL mission to keep their battalion's motorized elements fueled, moving and lubed at all times. The upright sword and vertical bar refer to the number "one" underscoring the organization's motto. Red is for action and valor; the sword also symbolizes total military preparedness. The colors of the shield are counterchanged suggesting teamwork and cooperation. | Coat of Arms: Buff is the primary color traditionally used by the Quartermaster Corps.
