834th Support Battalion (Aviation)
The status and alignment of the 834th Support Battalion (Aviation) of the Minnesota Army National Guard is uncertain, with some sources suggesting that it is aligned with the Division Support Command (DISCOM) of the 34th Infantry Division, while other sources do not report this alignment.
The distinctive unit insignia was approved on 6 March 2000, consisting of a shield blazoned: Per bend Gules and Buff, a bend dovetailed per bend counterchanged between an eagle swooping Or and a demi-column issuant from base Argent. Attached below the shield a Black scroll inscribed "WINGED WARRIORS SUPPORT" in Gold. Buff and scarlet are the color traditionally associated with Support organizations. Gold denotes high achievement and honor. Black suggests strength and consistency. The dovetailed or interlocking joint, counterchanged in color, represents unity, teamwork and support. The eagle underscores the motto and represents the unit's aviation support mission. The column symbolizes a reliable base of support.
