Teamed together they possess the ability to move the “Wheel of Logistics” in order to sustain the force. The stars represent the original thirteen colonies and the nation’s heritage. The “Y” suggests the joining point of the Chicago River and North Branch Rivers, landmarks in Chicago and the location of the 108th Sustainment Brigade.
