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 with scarlet flames edged golden yellow issuing from the sword blade; all within a 1/8 inch (.32 cm) golden yellow border.

Symbolism
White, red, and blue and the device partitions are modified from the Army Materiel Command shoulder sleeve insignia and carry with it the mission of support and the flow of materiel to the Warfighters. Gold is emblematic of excellence and high ideals. The flaming sword, referring to the U.S. Army Europe heritage, represents the Brigade’s mission to provide contingency contract support to all units assigned in support operations in the European Theater of Operations. The scarlet grip on the hilt symbolizes the blood shed of fallen comrades as they performed the craft of contingency contracting on the battle field and beyond.

Background
The shoulder sleeve insignia was approved effective 16 September 2007. It was cancelled by HQDA, G-1 directive on 21 February 2010. (TIOH Dwg. No. A-1-932)
