U.S. ARMY 15TH SUPPORT BRIGADE PATCH (SSI)

The 15th Support Brigade Shoulder Sleeve Insignia, or unit patch, was approved on 20 December 1966 for the unit that had been constituted the previous May and activated 1 July 1966 at Fort Hood (renamed Fort Cavazos in May 2023). The 15th Support Brigade was inactivated on 20 October 1967 in Vietnam, reactivated on 21 September 1968 at Fort Lewis, Washington, and then inactivated 21 March 1973.

In 2005, its Headquarters and Headquarters Company were consolidated with Headquarters and Headquarters Company, 1st Cavalry Division Support Command to form the 15th Sustainment Command. This new unit was given a new unit patch based upon the design of the 1st Cavalry Division Shoulder Sleeve Insignia.

The now-discontinued 15th Support Brigade unit patch is designed like a shield, with a horizontal arch in the center; this is an allusion to the vital support the organization provides for units. Broad arrows flowing out from the arch denote action and, combined with the arch, visually express the Briade’s motto of “Support The Action.” The trio of arrowheads also stand for three essential support functions the Brigade provided: Supply, Maintenance, and Services. Additionally, the head of an arrow simulates the Roman “V” for five, with three fives indicating the Brigade’s numerical designation.
