The Distinctive Unit Insignia (also referred to as a DUI or unit crest) of the 130th Support Center was originally approved for the non-color bearing units of the 30th Armored Division on 16 November 1971. It was subsequently redesignated for the 130th Support Center on 28 November 1973, for the 130th Rear Area Operations Center on 25 November 1986, and again for the 130th Support Center on 27 April 1988.
Nicknamed “Forrest Critters” as a pun based upon the name of Confederate Cavalry General and Tennessee native Nathan Bedford Forrest, the 130th Support Center had a linage that included three battle honors from World War I, signified by three stars in the shoots of the red-and-green fleur-de-lis, which itself recalls the unit’s selection for a French Croix de Guerre in World War II. World War II campaigns are denoted by the barbed, five-pointed star in the center of the insignia; its blue color indicates the organization belonged to the Infantry branch. The black and gold used for the scroll with the unit motto are the colors of the Belgian Fourragere 1940, awarded to the organization for service in the Ardennes and in Belgium in World War II.
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.
The 130th Support Center Unit has been inactive for an undetermined length of time, with research revealing no references to it no later than 2004. Its heritage is derived from the 30th Armored Division, which was deactivated on 31 October 1973.
