U.S. ARMY 2ND SUPPORT COMMAND UNIT CREST (DUI)

It is quite the coincidence that the 2nd Support Command Distinctive Unit Insignia (DUI), or unit crest, uses six towers to represent six technical services involving logistics that were put forth in a study called Combat Service to the Army, or COSTAR—and that the insignia was subsequently approved on 6 June 1966, or 6-6-66. The COSTAR inspiration is also represented by the star formed by the two crossed arrowheads at the top of the insignia; the arrows suggest the speed of delivery in two of the services, maintenance and supply. (These areas are the focus of imagery found on the Command’s Combat Service ID Badge (CSIB) and Shoulder Sleeve Insignia (unit patch).

“EXCEL ALL” is the Command motto and emphasizes the importance of success in each of the six areas of support.

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.
