Shield: The colors maroon and white (silver) are those traditionally associated with the Army Medical Department. Green denotes hope and good health. The maroon cross reflects medicine, courage and zeal. The staff and serpent are adapted from the staff of Aesculapius, the mythological God of Medicine, and represent life-giving powers. The stylized castle and taeguk refer to the unit's decoration and campaign credits received for service in the European Theater and Republic of Korea. Crest: The helicopter blades reflect the unit's mission of airmobile evacuation. The cross is the traditional symbol for medical assistance. Red denotes bravery and valor.
