Advanced Weapons Support Command

Worn from:
1 April 1969 - 1 June 1988.

The colors crimson and yellow are those of the Ordnance Corps.
The six-sided figure represents an isometric view of a box or
container, and alludes to the storage function of the command.
The sun at the top, appearing as though within the container,
is symbolic of the energy of nuclear weapons, which are stored
by the command. The five rays represent the five special ammunition
depots in the command. The stylized wrench represents the maintenance
capability of the organization and the key represents the supply function.
The star on the bow of the key and the yellow border completely enclosing
the insignia are symbolic of the military police units and the protection
that they provide to the command.
