38th Sustainment Brigade Unit Crest

38th Sustainment Brigade Unit Crest

The 38th Sustainment Brigade Unit Crest is the distinctive unit insignia (DUI) originally authorized for the U.S. Army's 38th Sustainment Brigade. The crest features a blue and scarlet shield, crossed scimitars, a silver star within a ring, a cloverleaf, and the motto "NEVER QUIT."

The motto "NEVER QUIT" was adopted from the Soldiers Creed. The red, blue, and silver colors connect the brigade to the heritage of the 38th Infantry Division, while the cloverleaf represents the division's World War I service. The silver star within a ring references an Army vehicle and equipment marking used during World War II, and the crossed scimitars represent the brigade's service in Iraq.

38th Sustainment Brigade Insignia

The distinctive unit insignia was approved on December 10, 2008, when the 38th Sustainment Brigade received its own distinctive heraldry after transitioning from a support organization within the 38th Infantry Division to a separate sustainment brigade. The design intentionally preserved elements of the brigade's 38th Infantry Division heritage.

The crossed scimitars represent the brigade's service in Operation Iraqi Freedom. The cloverleaf is a historic symbol of the 38th Infantry Division dating to World War I, while the silver star within a ring represents an Army vehicle and equipment marking used during World War II. Together, these elements reflect the brigade's lineage and combat service.
