The Quartermaster Center and School is a subordinate command of the United States Army's Combined Arms Support Command and is located at Fort Lee, Virginia. The school is operated by the 23rd Quartermaster Brigade and its subordinate units. ^[1]

The school began on March 1, 1910 at the Philadelphia Depot under BG James B. Aleshire with a 14-week course. The school was moved to Schuylkill Arsenal, Penn. in 1928. During World War II, the facilities at Schuylkill Arsenal became too overcrowded even after expanding into vacant buildings in the nearby community. So on Oct. 6, 1941 the school moved to Camp Lee, Virginia. ^[2]

Insignia

Shoulder Sleeve Insignia is a buff rounded lozenge, 2 inches by 3 inches with a blue torch with blue flames and a crossed blue key and sword.

The distinctive unit insignia was originally approved for the Quartermaster Corps School on 16 Dec 1929.
