To change information
Description
A shield shape device 3 inches (7.62 cm) in height and 2 1/4 inches (5.72 cm) in width overall, divided per pairle white, scarlet and blue, overall a silver gray sword palewise fimbriated white, in chief two black lightning bolts pilewise issuing from top of device, in dexter base a green olive branch bendwise and in sinister base a clutch of three white arrows bend sinisterwise; all within a 1/8 inch (.32 cm) golden yellow border.

Symbolism
The white, scarlet, and blue background represents the parent Command, Army Materiel Command (AMC). The sword symbolizes the constant state of readiness. The Brigade provides logistics support to all units in the European Theater. The olive branch and arrows are symbolic of logistics support in both peace and war. The lightning bolts represent rapid support to the soldiers and units. They come together almost at a point alluding to an arrow head which underscores the Brigade being the AMC single point of entry in the region. The contrast of black and white of the device alludes to the night and day, around the clock mission of the Brigade.

Background
The shoulder sleeve insignia was approved on 27 October 2008. It was cancelled by HQDA, G-1 directive on 21 February 2010. (TIOH Drawing Number A-1-982)
