The 7th Military Support Command Shoulder Sleeve Insignia, approved on 23 September 2009, features a yellow pentagon, single-point down, with a mill rind that has top ends terminating in arrow points and surmounted in the center by a red wedge with a point-down red arrow superimposed in the middle of mill rind. For the color patch and CSIB, the colors of red, blue, and yellow are taken from the Seventh Army Shoulder Sleeve Insignia and represent Artillery, Infantry, and Armored units. Similarly, the mill rind is taken from 21st Theater Sustainment Command’s Shoulder Sleeve Insignia and is a heraldic symbol of strong support, with the emerging arrows alluding to the ability to deploy quickly in response to directives.
At the time the insignia was approved, the command was known as 7th Civil Support, a designation it had received a year earlier (2008); in 2015, the insignia was redesignated as 7th Military Support Command. From 1986 to 2008, the organization was the U.S. Army Reserve Command, created some thirty years after the first U.S. Army Reserve units were first stationed in Europe.
