37th Transportation Group
Shoulder Sleeve Insignia
Description
On a brick red vertical rectangle arched convexly at the top and bottom, divided in half horizontally edged with a 1/8 inch (.32 cm) golden yellow border consisting of a black arrow issuing from base surmounted with seven golden yellow dashes, two, two, two and one, diminishing towards the point of arrow, all below a sunburst emitting four golden yellow rays. The overall dimension is 2 inches (5.08 cm) in width and 3 inches (7.62 cm) in length.
Symbolism
Brick red and golden yellow are the colors traditionally used by the Transportation Corps. The arrow symbolizes the corps being the “spearhead of logistics.” The dashes on the black arrow suggest a roadway and the German autobahn, also the unit’s long history supporting operations throughout Europe. It also alludes to the multi-faceted methods the 37th Transportation Group uses to support the war fighter. The sunburst denotes the center of command from which all strength is derived. The four rays signify the World War II campaigns in which the Group participated: Naples-Foggia, Rome-Arno, North Apennines and Po Valley.
Background
The shoulder sleeve insignia was approved on 23 December 2005. (TIOH Drawing Number A-1-880)
