Insignia Description
A gold color metal and enamel insignia 1 1/8 inches (2.86 cm) in height overall, consisting of a gold wreath bearing a turnstile, scarlet with gold nail heads and three blue bars, all above a gold scroll inscribed "IN SUPPORT" in black letters.

Symbolism
The distinctive wreath of the olive branches is taken from the arms of the City of Reims where the Battalion was stationed in World War II. The olive branches also allude to the subsequent signing of the Peace Treaty with the Third Reich at Reims. The turnstile symbolizes control of entrance and exit. It refers to the Battalion's war service in administering and operating a Prisoner of War stockade at Reims.

History
The distinctive unit insignia was approved on 21 December 1964. It was amended to revise the description on 19 June 1989.
