Program.service ExecStart fails but the program itself runs - service

Question

I am testing how to run a script using a .service file on CentOS7.
The script is a very simple loop just to make sure it runs:
if [ "$1" == "start" ] || [ "$1" == "cycle" ]
then
/u/Test/Bincustom/haltrun_wrap.sh run &
echo $! /u/Test/Locks/start.pid
exit
elif [ "$1" == "stop" ] || [ "$1" == "halt" ]
then
killall -q -9 haltrun_wrap.sh
echo " " /u/Test/Locks/start.pid
elif [ "$1" == "run" ]
then
process_id=$(pidof haltrun_wrap.sh)
#echo $process_id /u/Test/Locks/start.pid
while [ 1 ]
do
CurTime=$(date)
echo $CurTime /u/Test/Logs/log
sleep 30s
done
else
cat /u/Test/Locks/start.pid
cat /u/Test/Logs/log
fi
That script runs fine as the root or test user if i launch manually.
The Program.service file looks like this:
[Unit]
Description=Program
[Service]
Type=forking
RemainAfterExit=yes
PIDFile=/u/Test/Locks/start.pid
EnvironmentFile=/u/Test/Config/environ
Environment="Base="sudo -u sirsi '/u/Test/Bincustom/Program " "Stop=halt force'" "Start=cycle force'""
ExecStart=/bin/sh $Base$Start
ExecStop=/bin/sh $Base$Stop
[Install]
WantedBy=multi-user.target
WantedBy=WebServices
WantedBy=BCA
The error is always:
● Program.service - Program

Jan 11 14:53:10 localhost.localdomain systemd[1]: Unit Program.service entered failed state.

Obviously I'm doing something wrong in the .service but for the life of me I am still missing it.

The issue was in the line:
Environment="Base="sudo -u sirsi '/u/Test/Bincustom/Program " "Stop=halt force'" "Start=cycle force'""
ExecStart=/bin/sh $Base$Start
ExecStop=/bin/sh $Base$Stop
Apparently .service files do not recognize variables.
I also had an issue with sudo not being allowed to run my test script.
i had to add the sudo into the test script.
