The three-part division of the field symbolizes the three environments of the Canadian Forces – sea, land and air – using the colours traditionally associated with them. The globe highlights the Command's mission, which is to provide effective and efficient operational support to all operations, whether domestic, continental or expeditionary. The three maple leaves on one stem represents service to Canada and the support and sustainment provided to other Canadian Forces Commands.
