The demi-sphere denotes the Group's worldwide support mission. The sunburst signifies the 209th being a brand new unit; suggesting the Group's logistical power to support the fight across the world. The covered wagon symbolizes "the gateway to the western expansion of the United States, also highlighting the unit's location near Kansas City, Missouri and the soldiers coming from the four states (Missouri, Kansas, Nebraska and Iowa). The motto translates to "True Power of the Military."
