U.S. ARMY SPECIAL TROOPS BATTALION, 1ST ARMORED DIVISION SUSTAINMENT BRIGADE UNIT CREST (DUI)

In May 2015, the 15th Sustainment Brigade was assigned to the 1st Armored Division and was subsequently redesignated the 1st Armored Division Sustainment Brigade and, at the same time, the 15th Special Troops Battalion became simply Special Troops Battalion, 1st Armored Division.

As of Winter 2024, the Special Troops Battalion is assigned to the 1st Armored Division Sustainment Brigade. Both the Brigade and Battalion are stationed at the 1st Armored Division’s home base of Fort Bliss.

Also known as a unit crest or DUI, the Distinctive Unit Insignia is 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 (Enlisted only) with the base of the insignia toward the outside shoulder seam.

Full guidance on wear of the DUI is found in DA Pamphlet 670-1, Section 21-22, "Distinctive unit insignia."  

Approved in 2007, the Distinctive Unit Insignia of the Special Troops Battalion, 1st Armored Division uses the colors green and gold to emphasize the battalion’s association with the Armor branch. The tank wheel in the lower right reinforces the 1st Armored Division’s tank warfare capabilities, while the quill pen is a reference to the administrative and support functions of the STB’s previous incarnations. A lion passant in the top of the shield is symbolic of the DISCOM’S World War II heritage. “Make It Matter” is the no-nonsense motto of the battalion.
