Distinctive Unit Insignia: The black globule symbolizes "Petroleum," and alludes to the organization's mission to provide storage, distribution and quality surveillance of petroleum to supported units. The Quartermaster wheel with its thirteen (13) stars and spokes are symbolic of the battalion's Quartermaster heritage and also depicts the transportation (movements of packaged and bulk petroleum) mission of the battalion. The two red flashes refer to the Battalion's service in World War II in France and Germany. | Distinctive Unit Insignia: The black globule symbolizes "Petroleum," and alludes to the organization's mission to provide storage, distribution and quality surveillance of petroleum to supported units.
