Description/Blazon

A shield blazoned: Per bend Or and Sable, a lion sejant of the last grasping the astronomical symbol for Mars Vert. Above the shield, on a wreath of the colors Or and Sable, is a mullet Argent encircled by a garland of live oak and olive Proper. Below and to the sides of the shield, a gold scroll turned green is inscribed "GOLPEO RAPIDAMENTE" in black letters.

Symbolism

The lion and the symbol for Mars honor the Regiment's service in World War II, specifically in the Central Burma and India-Burma campaigns. The lion is taken from the seal of Burma, while the astronomical symbol for Mars represents the Mars Task Force with which the unit fought. The crest features the seal of Texas, the "Lone Star State," signifying the unit's origins. The motto translates to "I Strike Quickly."

The insignia was redesignated for the 124th Cavalry Regiment and amended to include the crest and symbol for World War II service (lion grasping the astronomical symbol for Mars) on January 5, 1967.
