Reimer, then Chief of Staff of the Army, as he recognized the Army's best maintenance units for 1999. The National Guard Small Category winner was the 210th Finance Battalion (MSARNG). The National Guard Small Category winner for 2000 was the 210th Finance Battalion (MSARNG). Members of the eleven winning units and eleven runners-up for the "Chief of Staff, Army Award for Maintenance Excellence" were honored 26 September 2003. The National Guard Small Category winner was the 210th Finance Battalion (MSARNG). The program is designed to evaluate unit-level maintenance operations at brigade, battalion, company, battery, troop and equivalent organizations. Units compete in four major component categories: active Army, U.S. Army Reserve, Army National Guard and Table of Distribution and Allowance organizations. Within the four major categories, units compete in one of three sub-categories based personnel density. The winning units came from a variety of disciplines, including infantry, air defense artillery, military intelligence, and finance.

The distinctive unit insignia was approved on 23 January 1995. It consists of a Gold color metal and enamel device consisting of a shield blazoned: Silver Gray a lozenge Or bearing a quill Gules, an orle of bezants. Attached below the shield a Silver Gray scroll inscribed "DUTY HONOR" in Gold. Silver gray and golden yellow are the colors traditionally associated with Finance units. The bezants, which resemble coinage, form an orle to allude to unity. The lozenge refers to the insignia of branch of the Finance Corps, and the quill represents the unit's functions and missions.
