Insignia Description
A gold color metal and enamel device 1 1/16 inches (2.70 cm) in height overall consisting of a sword palewise point down with a black hilt and white blade supporting a shield divided per pale teal blue and gold, on dexter side a red fusil and on the sinister, a teal blue fleur-de-lis; all between two gold laurel branches.  Around the top is a black scroll inscribed with “ENHANCING THE” and around the bottom a black scroll inscribed “WARRIOR SPIRIT” in gold letters divided by the sword point.

Symbolism
Teal blue is associated with Branch Immaterial and gold is emblematic of excellence and high ideals.  Red is for sacrifice and valor.  The sword represents the power, honor, and wisdom of the warrior and the combat ready support of the unit.  The fleur-de-lis is for Louisiana where the Brigade was activated with its middle section resembling a spearhead denoting martial power and strength.  The laurel symbolizes victory and a job well done.  The two sections of the shield refer to the two missions to protect both the operational and tactical freedom actions of the supported Force.  The diamond, epitomizing the essence of invincibility and the cutting edge, highlights the hardened bonds of courage, fidelity, and commitment to the Brigade.

History
The distinctive unit insignia was originally approved for the 1st Combat Support Brigade (Maneuver Enhancement) effective 16 September 2007.  It was redesignated for the 1st Maneuver Enhancement Brigade on 1 February 2008.  The insignia was amended to correct the height on 22 October 2008.
