Republic of South Vietnam Military Service February 1968 - February 1969
In Omnia Promptus = Ready for Everything.
A Distinctive Unit Insignia / Coat of Arms worn on each shoulder top of the dress Class A uniform. This Unit Insignia was worn on my Class A uniform due to my assignment / service to the 1st Medical Battalion 1st Infantry Division Support Command in Di An South Vietnam from August 1968 to Feb 1969.
Description: A Silver color metal and enamel device 1 1/8 inches in height overall consisting of a shield blazoned (Coat of Arms): Sanguine (reddish brown color),
a bear passant Proper (a walking California Bear); on a chief Argent (silver metal) a cross of Malta of the field (eight-pointed Maltese Cross of the Order of St John of Jerusalem). Attached below the shield is a Silver scroll inscribed
"IN OMNIA PROMPTUS" in maroon letters.
Symbolism: The shield is sanguine, with the chief in silver, the colors of its predecessor, an organization of the Medical Department. The bear denotes that the unit was organized at Camp Fremont, California. The cross of Malta was a device used by the first exclusively military medical organization, the Knights Hospitallers of Saint John of Jerusalem, which was formed in 1118.
Background: The distinctive unit insignia was originally approved for the 8th Medical Regiment on 2 March 1934. It was re-designated for the 8th Medical Battalion on 28 November 1939. The insignia was re-designated for the 1st Medical Battalion on 6 August 1940. It was amended to add the motto on 16 June 1967. The insignia was re-designated for the 201st Support Battalion with the description and symbolism amended on 5 June 1987.
