Brick Red and golden yellow are the colours associated with the Transportation Corps. The blue upper part of the shield reflecte the Battalion's origin as a Quartermaster Unit. The reversed piles in base suggets two roads alluding to the Transportation Mission. They also divide the base into five sections suggesting the five campaign credits for World War II. The Crown alludes to the Motto. It is topped by a Fleur-de-lis signifying service in the European Theater during World War II. The Annulets in the Crest symbolises Transportation. The Red one symbolises the Mertitorious Unit Commendation awarded for service in Southwest Asia. The Palm Tree symbolises Defence of Saudi Arabia and Kuwait. | |||
The arms were approved on 14 October 1992, and amended to add a Crest on 9 April 1997. The Distinctive Unit Insignia was approved on 24 October 1967. It was ammended to includ metric measurements and revise the symbolism of the design on 14 October 1992. | |||
