English: Distinctive Unit Insignia for the 724th Support battalion, United States Army.
The colors crimson and yellow are for the Ordnance Corps, representative of the original service of the organization. The sea lion represents service in the Pacific during World War II. The pheon or arrowhead symbolizes an assault landing on Leyte. The wavy bar in the color of the Korean Service Ribbon indicates service in that area. The distinctive unit insignia was originally approved for the 724th Ordnance Battalion on 19 October 1954. It was redesignated for the 724th Maintenance Battalion on 1 April 1963. The insignia was redesignated with description and symbolism revised for the 724th Support Battalion on 28 July 1987. |
