Origin/meaning

Buff and Red are the Colour traditionally used by Support Units. The Saltirewise division symbolises reinforcement, cooperation and teamwork. The annulet suggets a wheel alluding to the movement of materiel to the soldier. The Wing symbolises Aviation Support and the Column symbolises Strength and Support.

The Coat of Arms and Distinctive Unit Insignia was both approved on 14 December 1998.
