Maroon and white are the colors used for the Army Medical Department. The central disc and wavy stripe denote the Hospital’s World War II campaign service in Central Europe and the Rhineland. The disc, additionally, together with the stretcher and flashes, refer to the swift action in providing hospitalization within the combat zone, and preparation of patients for evacuation to other medical facilities when required. The simulated cross suggests the emblem for aid and assistance. | |||
The Distinctive Unit Insignia was originally approved for the 385th Evacuation Hospital on 24 May 1971. It was redesignated for the 385th Combat Support Hospital on 12 August 1975. | |||
