The burst of nine rays refers to the nine classes of supply the Battalion supports and recalls unit origins in San Jose, California.

The swords denote combat readiness on land, sea and in the air, the keys signify the logistical missions of Service and Support and their interdependence. The motto, in Spanish, recognizes the large Hispanic presence within the Battalion and region of San Jose. Gold denotes excellence and achievement. | The color buff (gold) traditionally represents the Quartermaster branch.
