The Com­bat Ser­vice Sup­port Com­mand
(CSS Com­mand)

The sym­bol of the SAF Com­bat Ser­vice Sup­port Com­mand is rep­re­sent­ed by an ear­ly Goth­ic tri­an­gu­lar shield. On the shield, two braids, each con­sist­ing of nine gold lime leaves, are depict­ed with­in the black bor­der. The stalks of the two low­er leaves are crossed and the braids form a gold gar­land. The braids encom­pass both cen­tral ele­ments of the coat of arms, an ion­ic cap­i­tal as a sym­bol of sup­port and a sword as a sym­bol sug­gest­ing armed and high­ly trained forces.

The main tasks of the Com­bat Ser­vice Sup­port Com­mand, which was estab­lished in July 2002, are main­te­nance of mate­r­i­al and tech­nol­o­gy, ammu­ni­tion man­age­ment, secur­ing mil­i­tary instal­la­tions and co-oper­a­tion with the civ­il sphere.
