427th Support Battalion Unit Crest

427th Support Battalion Unit Crest

The 427th Support Battalion Unit Crest, officially known as a Distinctive Unit Insignia (DUI), represents the heritage of the New York Army National Guard's 427th Support Battalion, now designated the 427th Brigade Support Battalion. The battalion is assigned to the 27th Infantry Brigade Combat Team, 42nd Infantry Division, with its headquarters in Syracuse, New York.

The crest features Pegasus, the winged horse of Greek mythology, symbolizing vigilance, dedication, and readiness to serve. The crossed thunderbolts form a heraldic saltire representing the battalion's four support functions: Medical, Ordnance, Quartermaster, and Transportation. The buff and scarlet colors are traditionally associated with Army support organizations, while the black winged horse represents strength and solidarity.

The battalion motto, “STRENGTH FROM SUPPORT,” reflects the essential role of logistics and sustainment in keeping combat forces equipped, supplied, and mission-ready. The 427th has supported major military operations, including deployments to Iraq and Afghanistan, as well as domestic emergency response missions in New York. Its distinctive unit insignia was officially approved on August 11, 1995.
