U.S. Army Transport Service (ATS) Flag Assembly (Transportation Corps Emblem) – Custom 3D Printed Miniature Accessory Parts Pieces for Brick Block Figures

Item Name / Model: Miniature U.S. Army Transport Service (ATS) Flag Assembly (Transportation Corps Emblem) Item Type: Handheld Accessory / Building Block Figure Prop

Item Description: This is a single custom-crafted accessory assembly designed specifically for building block figures and historical military maritime dioramas. The item is a highly detailed, miniature replica of the updated official flag for the United States Army Transport Service, mounted on a pole.

• Flag Component: The flag piece consists of a rectangular tile featuring the distinct diagonal tricolor field associated with the ATS: a red upper-left section, a white diagonal center band, and a dark blue lower-right section. Centered prominently on the white diagonal is the updated ATS insignia printed in red, which depicts the Army Transportation Corps emblem (featuring a ship’s steering wheel, a U.S. highway marker shield, and a winged flanged train wheel). The surface has a smooth, high-quality printed finish that crisply captures this specific and historic military-maritime design.

• Hardware & Fit: The flag piece is firmly secured to a standard cylindrical black flagpole using two specialized black clip attachments. The diameter of the black pole is perfectly scaled to snap securely into the C-shaped hand of a standard building block character, allowing a figure to hold it as a unit standard bearer. (Note: The square black base plate shown at the bottom acts as a display stand and can be easily detached so the figure can actively carry the pole in your brick scenes).

Historical Background: This accessory accurately replicates the updated, later version of the Army Transport Service (ATS) Flag. The Army Transport Service was originally a critical component of the War Department responsible for operating troopships and cargo vessels across the globe. In 1942, during the height of World War II, the ATS was absorbed into the newly established United States Army Transportation Corps to centralize and streamline military logistics. This specific flag design reflects that organizational shift: it retains the traditional ATS diagonal red, white, and blue background, but replaces the service’s original blue eagle emblem with the red Transportation Corps insignia. This custom miniature piece is an essential, historically accurate accessory for builders looking to construct authentic mid-to-late WWII maritime logistics depots, military dockyards, or building block troopship and harbor dioramas.
