Origin/meaning
Buff and Light Blue are the colour associated to Quartermaster Battalions. The Pale allude to the Rhineland and Central Europe. The flory symbolises the campaign in Ardennes-Alsace. The Gutte de poix symbolise petroleum functions of the Battalion. The tiliting-spears represent military strength and readiness.
The Coat of Arms and Distinctive Unit Insignia was both approved on 2 June 1998.
