Distinctive Unit Insignia: Maroon and white are colors traditionally associated with the Medical Corps. The maroon cross stands for Army medicine while the Maltese cross recalls the 3d Medical Command’s heritage of service and sacrifice in the field. The laurel sprigs, signifying honor and achievement, recall the unit’s World War II campaigns and service. They simulate an arrowhead recalling the unit’s assault landing in Sicily, while forming a triangle highlighting the unit’s numerical designation. The scimitars represent the unit’s participation in the two Southwest Asia Campaigns. Gold stands for excellence, red for courage and sacrifice. The Distinctive Unit Insignia was approved on 27 July 1992. | Distinctive Unit Insignia: Maroon and white are colors traditionally associated with the Medical Corps.
