I googled "30th engineer brigade" and found this

The distinctive unit insignia was originally approved for the 105th Engineers in 29 Oct 1929. It was redesignated for the 105th Engineers Battalion in 20 Nov 1943. On 7 Mar 1951 the insignia was redesignated for the 112th Field Artillery Battalion. It was redesignated for the 105th Engineer Battalion on 14 Jul 1960. The insignia was amended to add a motto on 17 Sep 1968. It was redesignated for the 105th Engineer Group on 7 Dec 1976. On 15 Oct 1979 the insignia was redesignated for the 30th Engineer Brigade and amended to revise the symbolism. It consists of a shield blazoned Gules, three fleurs-de-lis two and one, overall a bend eradicated Argent attached below a gold scroll inscribed "EVER DEPENDABLE" in red letters. Red and white are the Engineer colors. The three fleurs-de-lis are taken from the coat of arms of St. Quentin and also represent the principal engagements of the organization during World War I. The eradicated bend indicates the organization's participation as combat troops in breaking the Hindenburg Line.

It looks of an age to be for the 105th Engineers, not the later 30th Engineer Brigade. The brigade was and, I believe, still is a separate brigade not assigned to a division.
