Lt. Col Tracey Smith, 437th Maintenance Squadron commander, unveiled the squadron's new emblem during a ceremony May 30, 2013, at Joint Base Charleston – Air Base, S.C. This is the first change to the squadron’s emblem since 1966. The Ultramarine Blue and Air Force Yellow represent the U.S. Air Force colors. Blue alludes to the sky, the primary theater of Air Force operations and the yellow refers to the sun and the excellence required of Air Force personnel. The background of day and night sky indicates around-the-clock maintenance operations. The sun resembles a compass rose, symbolizing the squadron's mission of support in keeping the unit's aircraft flying worldwide. The stars are in a constellation cluster, representing the teamwork required among active duty and Air Reserve component officer and enlisted members and civilians to make the mission happen. The Latin motto, "Ad Exacta Capaces” expresses the spirit of the 437th MXS personnel. (U.S. Air Force photo/Master Sgt. Perry Woods)
