Which term designates the unit symbol for the Supply Unit?

• A. Supply Unit Symbol
• B. Quartermaster Unit Symbol
• C. Composite Supply Unit Symbol
• D. Medical Unit Symbol

Answer: (A)

In unit-symbol labeling, the symbol is named after the function it represents. For a unit whose primary role is to provide and manage supply, the standard designation is the Supply Unit Symbol. This name directly communicates the symbol’s purpose on maps and in planning, making it the correct label for identifying a Supply Unit. Calling it a Quartermaster Unit Symbol would imply a branch-specific symbol rather than the generic supply function, and a Composite Supply Unit Symbol is used only when a unit combines multiple supply roles. The Medical Unit Symbol is for medical units. So the correct term is Supply Unit Symbol.
