544th Maintenance Battalion
The distinctive unit insignia was approved on 3 April 1978,
consisting of a black triangular trivet bearing in the center a black fleur-de-lis all in front of and above radiating gold rays; and upon a gold scroll enclosing the sides of the trivet and rays in base the inscription "Support The Force" in black letters. The historic Quartermaster origin of the organization is suggested by the trivet, whose three-footed configuration and fleur-de-lis ornamentation further commemorate service in Europe during World War II. The color black is used to represent service with the Army of Occupation in Germany. The trivet, whose shape suggests the initial M, for Maintenance, also refers to the general support mission of the battalion, and the gold rays emanating from center symbolize the knowledge and enthusiasm which contribute to the successful accomplishment of the unit's mission.
