Description/Blazon

A shield blazoned: Azure (Silver Gray), with a fess Gules between seven cannons (four and three) muzzles upwards Sable, and an arrow of the first, all within a bordure gyronny Vert, Argent, and of the second alternating. From a wreath Argent and Gules, an armored arm 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 at the Regiment's organization. The red fess with the arrow commemorates the Battle of Tippecanoe, while the seven cannons symbolize the Battle of Lundy's Lane. The green, white, and red border signifies the Mexican War. The crest, a modification of General Nelson A. Miles' crest, features an armored arm holding nine arrows—one for each Indian campaign—in place of the anchor originally depicted. General Miles, who served as Colonel of the Regiment and led it in notable Indian engagements, inspired this design.

Background

The distinctive unit insignia was approved on 28 April 1923, amended for description correction on 25 May 1970, and further updated on 7 December 2011.
