Maroon and white are the colors traditionally used by the Medical Corps. The cross symbolizes medicine and aid; its four arms terminate in fleurs-de-lis, and it bears an heraldic fountain, denoting water or a river, commemorating the unit's five campaigns and war service during World War II.

The Coat of Arms and Distinctive Unit Insignia was approved on 16 September 1995.
