The Quartermaster Center and School is a formation of the United States Army's Combined Arms Support Command, and is located at Fort Lee, Virginia. The school is operated by the 23rd Quartermaster Brigade and its assigned units.[citation needed]

History

The school was initiated on 1 March 1910, at the Philadelphia Depot, under Brig. Gen. James B. Aleshire. The school moved to Schuylkill Arsenal in Pennsylvania in 1928.

During World War II, despite expanding into vacant buildings in the nearby community, the facilities at Schuylkill Arsenal grew overcrowded. On 6 October 1941, the school officially moved to Camp Lee (now Fort Lee) in Virginia.

Insignia

The shoulder sleeve insignia (SSI) is a buff (i.e., tan) rounded lozenge, 2 inches by 3 inches with a blue torch with blue flames and a crossed blue key and sword.

The shoulder sleeve insignia was originally approved for the Quartermaster Training Command on 7 November 1956. On 24 November 1975 the insignia was amended to reverse the colors of the insignia.

The distinctive unit insignia (DUI) is a buff shield with a pointed flat top. It is divided by a thick diagonal blue line with white accents. The upper division contains the Liberty Bell and the lower division has the lamp of knowledge upon a closed book. The Liberty Bell is symbolic of the city of Philadelphia, where the Quartermaster Corps School was first established. The lamp of knowledge upon the closed book represents the educational character of the school. At the base of the shield, placed is the motto of the school, "Famam extendimus factis" – "We spread our fame by our deeds."

The distinctive unit insignia was originally approved for the Quartermaster Corps School on 16 December 1929.

Flag

The flag of the U.S. Army Quartermaster Center and School is buff with an ultramarine fringe. The distinctive insignia of the school is centered on the flag.
