U.S. ARMY 213TH MEDICAL BRIGADE PATCH (SSI)

The 213th Medical Brigade Shoulder Sleeve Insignia, also called a unit patch, was approved on 10 September 1975. The white background and maroon cross and border are Medical Department colors. A cross is a symbol for aid and represents the medical mission of the Brigade, while the blue trident is a symbol for the Mississippi River, known as the “Father of Waters,” and by extension the state of Mississippi.

The 213th Medical Brigade was originally organized in the Mississippi Army National Guard and Federally recognized on 23 October 1952 as the 114th Engineer Combat Battalion. It was redesignated just under seven months later as Medical Detachment, 114th Engineer Battalion, a title it retained for six years until it underwent both reorganization and redesignation on 1 May 1959 as the HQ Detachment, 106th Medical Battalion, an element of the 31st Infantry Division.
 
Exactly four years later, it was reorganized and redesignated again, this time as Company D, 106th Medical Battalion, but still assigned to the 31st Infantry Division. That relationship ended on 15 February 1968 when it was relieved from assignment to the Division and concurrently consolidated with HQ and HQ Detachment (HHD), 213th Medical Battalion; the consolidated unit retained the Battalion’s designation.

It would subsequently be reorganized and redesignated three more times—as HHD, 213th Medical Group (1972), HHD, 213th Medical Brigade (1976), and HQ and HQ Company, 213th Medical Brigade—before it was consolidated with the 134th Combat Support Hospital, with the newly formed unit retaining the 134th Combat Support Hospital designation.
