Description

The 124th Army Reserve Command Distinctive Unit Insignia, or unit crest, was approved for wear on 30 September 1970, a month under two years from when the Command’s unit patch had been approved. It features a gold scroll in the shape of a shield and bearing an inscription of the unit motto, “Meet The Challenge.”

A star at the peak of the insignia reflects the unit’s status as a Command organization. The three stars and two white bars on a red background are taken from the coat of arms of George Washington, for whom the Command’s home state was named. Washington’s fame as the Evergreen State is reflected in the needle-leaf trees at the base of the insignia.

Headquartered at Fort Lawton, the 124th Army Reserve Command was established in 1968 and was based at Fort Lawton outside Seattle. Like many Army Reserve Commands stood up in the 1960s, the 124th Army Reserve Command was redesignated as a Regional Support command in 1995. Fort Lawton was officially closed in 2012.
