Buff and scarlet are the colors used for Support. A chain is symbolic of strong support and its links suggest a coordinated unit. The chain also augments the motto and a gold chain denotes durability. The Old Man of the Mountain, the mountain peak and the pine tree refer to New Hampshire, Vermont and Maine, the tri-state home area of the organization. | |||
The Coat of Arms was approved for the 167th Support Battalion effective 17 September 2006. The Distinctive Unit Insignia was originally approved for the 167th Support Group on 22 December 1971. It was redesignated effective 17 September 2006, with the description and symbolism updated for the 167th Support Battalion. | |||
