U.S. ARMY 111TH SUSTAINMENT BRIGADE PATCH (SSI)

The 111th Sustainment Brigade Shoulder Sleeve Insig-nia, commonly known as a unit patch, features a variation on an ancient symbol of the sun used by the Zia people of the region (the symbol is found on the state flag of New Mexico).

Three barbed rays rising upward suggest the Brigade’s former role as a provider of Air Defense capabilities for combat units operating in forward positions; they are also a visual representation of the Arabic numerical designation of the unit. Horizontal rays extending left and right are symbols of control and defense.

Just two colors, red (scarlet) and yellow are employed for the color version of the insignia, and they have a dual meaning. Historically, red and yellow are the national colors of Spain and are a reference to the influence of Spanish culture in the region. Militarily, scarlet and yellow are colors of the Artillery branch.

Before the insignia was redesignated for the 111th Sustainment Brigade on 1 September 2016, it had been worn by the 111th Air Defense Artillery from 1973 to 2008, when it was redesignated for the 110th Maneuver Enhancement Brigade.
