Maroon and white are the colors for the Army Medical Department and green is the color of the robe of the ancient physician. A cross is symbolic of aid and assistance and oak indicates strength and sturdiness. The leaves connote trees and the demi-fleur-de-lis France; together they refer to the organization’s participation in the Meuse-Argonne campaign during World War I. The two crosses are used to refer to the unit’s World War II service in the European-African-Middle East Theater. | Maroon and white are the colors for the Army Medical Department and green is the color of the robe of the ancient physician.
