Commonly called a unit crest, U.S. Army Logistics Center Distinctive Unit Insignia (DUI) was approved on 26 September 1975. Its foundational image is a column, a traditional heraldic symbol of support, rising from the base of the insignia. Surmounting it are two stars, symbols of both guidance and high achievement. The three elements of the design indicate the three components of Logistics: Quartermaster, Transportation, and Ordnance. Its buff (gold) and scarlet colors are traditionally used in the heraldry for Support organizations—gold is for excellence, scarlet for courage.
“Logistic Support” was the motto of the Logistics Center.
Also known as a unit crest or DUI, the 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 (Enlisted only) with the base of the insignia toward the outside shoulder seam.
Full guidance on wear of the DUI is found in DA Pamphlet 670-1,
Section 21-22, "Distinctive unit insignia."

The U.S. Army Logistics Center was established in 1973 to in which the centers and schools for Quartermaster, Transportation, Ordnance, and Missile and Munitions—the traditional combat service support branches—could be integrated.
As the result of a post reorganization and realignment in 1990, The Logistics Center, which had been a tenant activity since its inception, was redesignated as the U.S. Army Combined Arms Support Command (CASCOM), and the CASCOM Commander became the Installation Commander as well.
