RAD E.M. HEWER
The Logistics branch insignia depicts a diagonally crossed cannon and key surmounted by a ship’s steering wheel. Bearing on the hub is a stylized star. Inscribed on the ship’s wheel is the Latin phrase, “Sustinendum Victoriam,” which means “Sustaining Victory.” Soldier red is the Logistics branch color. The key represents the Quartermaster branch’s supply and service responsibilities; the ship’s wheel denotes the Transportation branch’s responsibilities for the movement of troops, supplies, and equipment; the cannon represents the Ordnance branch’s responsibilities for maintenance and munitions; and the stylized star represents the unity and integration of logistics functions.
