U.S. ARMY 559TH QUARTERMASTER BATTALION UNIT CREST (DUI)

Inactivated in 2005, the 595th Quartermaster Battalion—unofficially nicknamed “Water Dogs”—consisted of a Headquarters and Headquarters Detachment, the 512th Quartermaster Company (Tactical Water Distribution System), the 302nd Quartermaster Detachment (Water), the 94th Maintenance Company, and the 172nd Medical Detachment.

The 559th Quartermaster Battalion Distinctive Unit Insignia (DUI), or unit crest, was approved on 16 June 1993. Gold is used in lieu of buff, the official branch color of the Quartermaster Corps. A wavy blue vertical line (pale) is intended to suggest the unit’s mission of supplying water to individual Soldiers, denoted by the inclusion of a gold sword on the pale. “The Flow Of Victory,” the unit motto, is inscribed in gold letters on a black scroll; black stands for strength and readiness, while gold indicates high achievement.

Also known as a unit crest or DUI, a Distinctive Unit Insignia is 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.
