Description/Blazon

A shield blazoned: Vert, with a rainbow-colored bend arching across the center. Above, the badge of the 2d Army Corps from the Civil War is displayed (a red three-leaf clover outlined in gold). Below, the cap device of the Regiment from 1851 is shown (the number "69" in black on an oval shield, topped by a trefoil and flanked by two gold Irish wolfhounds rampant).

Symbolism

Green represents the original facings of the 69th Infantry Regiment. The rainbow is adapted from the shoulder sleeve insignia of the 42d Division approved during World War I. The wolfhound cap device has been associated with the unit since its early days.

Background

The distinctive unit insignia was originally approved for the 165th Infantry (69th New York National Guard) on 26 April 1924 and amended to remove the motto on 19 August 1924. On 17 March 1964, the insignia was redesignated for the 69th Infantry. It was redesignated for the 69th Air Defense Artillery on 9 March 1993, and then returned to the 69th Infantry on 30 December 1996.
