Distinctive Unit Insignia: Maroon and white (silver) are the colors used for the Medical Battalions. The water bouget is a medieval heraldic charge symbolizing the carrying of relief to the combatant and weary, while the cross is representative of the humanitarian ideals of medical activity. The fleury relates to fleurs-de-lis, and is used to represent the unit's campaigns of Normandy, Northern France, Rhineland and Central Europe of World War II. The red and green colors of the scroll refer to the Belgian Fourragere awarded the organization for Belgian and Meuse River action.
