Description/Blazon:

A palmetto tree Vert behind an arm embowed, clad in the Artillery uniform of 1861. The arm emerges from the upper portion of an embattled tower, grasping a rammer staff fesswise, all in gold. Attached below and to the sides of the device is a red tripartite scroll inscribed "PRIMUS" to dexter, "INTER" to base, and "PARES" to sinister, in gold letters.

Symbolism:

The arm and rammer staff symbolize Battery "C"'s participation in the Civil War at Fort Sumter, emerging from a tower in front of a palmetto tree (the device on the State Seal of South Carolina). The palmetto tree and tower represent the unit's historical association with South Carolina. The motto translates to "First Among Equals."

Background:

The distinctive unit insignia was originally approved for the 1st Coast Artillery Regiment on October 5, 1925. It was redesignated for the 1st Antiaircraft Artillery Missile Battalion on September 27, 1955, and canceled on April 21, 1959. The insignia was restored and authorized for the 1st Air Defense Artillery Regiment effective September 1, 1971.
