The water bouget is a medieval heraldic charge symbolizing the carrying of relief to the combatant and weary, while the cross is representative of the humanitarian ideals of medical activity. The cross fleury relates to fleurs-de-lis and is used to represent the unit's campaigns of Normandy, Northern France, Rhineland and Central Europe of WWII. The voided red and green trefoils refer to the Belgian Fourragere awarded the organization for Belgian and Meuse River action.
