Quartermaster Regimental Corps Crest Criteria: The Quartermaster Regimental Corps Crest is one of the Army’s 14 Regimental Corps Crest insignias. Regimental Corps Crest insignias are worn over the right breast pocket on the Class A uniform signifying each service member’s unique branch of service. The device utilizes the traditional Quartermaster Corps branch insignia with the eagle in a slightly different configuration known historically as the "Regimental Eagle". The eagle symbolizes our nation; the wagon wheel is symbolic of transportation and delivery of supplies. The stars and spokes of the wheel symbolize the original colonies. The sword, indicative of the military forces, and the key, alluding to the storekeeping functions, symbolize the control of military supplies by the Quartermaster Corps. The wreath signifies honor and achievement. The design was changed on June 7, 1994, to add color to the insignia.
