Description/Blazon

A shield blazoned: Azure (Silver Gray) on a fess Gules between seven cannons, four and three, muzzles upwards Sable, an arrow of the first, all within a bordure gyronny Vert, Argent, and of the second alternating. From a wreath Argent and Gules, an arm in armor embowed holding nine arrows all Argent (Silver Gray). Below the shield is a white scroll inscribed "I'LL TRY SIR" in silver letters.

Symbolism

The shield’s white color represents the Infantry facings of the Regiment at its organization. The red fess with arrow commemorates the Battle of Tippecanoe, while the seven cannons signify the Battle of Lundy's Lane. The green, white, and red bordure represents the Mexican War. The crest, adapted from General Nelson A. Miles' own, who commanded the Regiment and led it in notable Indian engagements, features an arm in armor holding nine arrows—one for each Indian campaign—in place of the original anchor.

Background

The distinctive unit insignia was approved on 28 April 1923. It was amended to correct the description on 25 May 1970 and further updated on 7 December 2011.
