528th Support Battalion DUI Black Mug (15oz)
Start the day under the crest of the 528th Support Battalion. This glossy black ceramic mug carries the battalion's Distinctive Unit Insignia in rich, 3D-enhanced detail with no added text: a gold shield and green chevron beneath a blue fleur-de-lis, twin red arrowheads rising over a wavy blue roundel, all framed by scarlet scrolls bearing the motto "We Support To The Utmost." Against the deep black finish, the golds, greens, and reds of the insignia read with crisp, banner-like clarity. It is the kind of mug that quietly says everything, whether it holds the first coffee of the morning or a late-night brew on watch.
528th Support Battalion Heritage
The 528th traces its lineage to the 528th Quartermaster Service Battalion, constituted in December 1942 at Camp McCain, Mississippi. In World War II the battalion took part in the assault landings in Sicily and Southern France, then campaigned through Rome-Arno, the Rhineland, the Ardennes-Alsace, and Central Europe. It served again in Vietnam from 1969 to 1971. In 1987 the unit was consolidated and redesignated as the 528th Support Battalion at Fort Bragg, supporting Army Special Operations Forces through operations in Panama and Desert Shield/Desert Storm. The Distinctive Unit Insignia was approved on 14 January 1988.
