U.S. ARMY 371ST SUSTAINMENT BRIGADE UNIT CREST (DUI)

The 371st Sustainment Brigade Distinctive Unit Insignia (DUI), or unit crest, was originally approved on 21 November 1971 for the 371st Support Group and pays tribute to the unit’s Ohio heritage. The Brigade was originally organized in the National Guard on 21 September 1917 and was manned by troops from the Ohio National Guard. Following World War I, it was reorganized and expanded, receiving Federal recognition in the Ohio National Guard as elements of the 37th Division, redesignated as the 37th Infantry Division when the Brigade served with it in World War II. After the war, the Brigade was again reorganized and Federally recognized in the Ohio National Guard.

As of Autumn 2023, the Brigade has two subordinate units, the 371st Special Troops Battalion and the 112th Transportation Battalion, and is headquartered in Springfield, Ohio as part of the Ohio Army National. Guard.

A profound sense of state pride is reflected in the design of the Brigade’s unit crest. In the center of the insignia are seventeen arrows; this is taken from the Great Seal of the State of Ohio, where it reflects Ohio’s status as the seventeenth state to be admitted into the Union. Green leaves and a buckeye are emblems of the state tree of Ohio, and the red and white twists of the wreath of the bottom denote the English settlers who created the first non-Native American settlement in the state.

Distinctive Unit Insignias are worn by all Soldiers (except General Officers) in units that have been authorized to be issued the device. It is worn centered on the shoulder loops of the Army Green Service Uniform (AGSU) and the blue Army Service Uniform (ASU, Enlisted only) with the base of the insignia toward the outside shoulder seam. DUIs are not worn on the Dress variations of either uniform, however.

More guidance on wear of the DUI is found in DA Pamphlet 670-1, Section 21-22, "Distinctive unit insignia" and 21–3(d) and (e), "Beret" and "Garrison Cap," respectively.
