Insignia Description
A gold color metal and enamel device 1 1/8 inches (2.86cm) in height overall, consisting of a gold disc bearing a black chevron potente and counterpotente charged with five gold annulets, the center one enfiled by a sword counterchanged with red grip, all within a red semi-circular scroll above inscribed "FUELING THE FORCE" in gold, and green laurel sprigs at bottom.

Symbolism
Buff (gold) is traditionally associated with the Quartermaster Corps. The chevron denotes strength, the potente edges suggest the wards of a key, thereby suggesting the Quartermaster Corps. Black denotes dependability while alluding to fuel and the unit's motto. The sword implies readiness. The annulets recall the Meritorious Unit Commendation and four campaign credits awarded for service in World War II. The laurel stands for honor.

History
The distinctive unit insignia was approved on 29 Apr 1993.
