Buff and Scarlet are the colours used by Support Units. The Star symbolises strong leadership. The Fret symbolises the support mission. The Canton alludes to the (former) State Flag of Mississippi, and the Home State of the Battalion. The Wavy Bend represents Pearl River flowing by Monticello, the Battalion's HQ. | Buff and Scarlet are the colours used by Support Units. The Star symbolises strong leadership.
