Maroon and silver (white) are the colors traditionally used by the Medical Corps. The cross, bearing the rod of Aesculapius, symbolizes medical care and healing. The pine branches denote regeneration and hope. The taeguk honors the unit's decorations and service during the Korean War; the arms of the cross highlight the four Korean War decorations. The arrowhead commemorates the organization's assault landing in the Aleutian Islands during World War II. | |||
