The purple background, often used for joint operations or units, represents the three environments of the Canadian Armed Forces supported by the Canadian Materiel Support Group (CMSG). The dragon, a great protector of its territory, alludes to the fact that the members of CMSG are custodians of supply and munitions depots. The key symbolizes supply, the grenade, ammunition, and the wheel, transportation. Together they represent the supply chain, signifying both warehousing and distribution network management.
