"Members of the 579th wore the shoulder sleeve insignia of the Theater Army Support Command (TASCOM) until 1974, then the United States Army Europe (USAREUR). They wore the distinctive unit insignia of the 59th Ordnance Brigade until 1977 when the unit switched to that of the 3rd Ordnance Battalion."

This is incorrect. I served at the 579th Ordnance Company in 1971-72 and we wore the AWSCOM shoulder sleeve insignia.
