Symbolism Maroon and white are the colors traditionally associated with the Medical Corps. The cross and staff of Aesculapius, symbols of healing and medicine, highlight the Brigade’s mission. The fleur-de-lis alludes to the unit’s World War II campaign participation in France. The two stars represent Texas, the location of the Brigade’s Headquarters when activated in 2010 and California, the location of the unit’s Headquarters as a Medical Group from 1981 through 2010. The gold border is emblematic of honor and excellence in service.
Background The shoulder sleeve insignia was approved on 21 May 2014. (TIOH Dwg. No. A-1-1095)
