Symbolism

The shield's blue color represents Infantry, with the canton denoting the Regiment’s heritage from the 10th Infantry. The abaca tree symbolizes the Regiment’s early station in the Philippines, where the plant is native and a significant resource. The mullet in base refers to the blue star of the old First Philippine Infantry. The crest features a lion, reflecting the Harrison family’s crest—General and President William Henry Harrison and General and President Benjamin Harrison—and also the sea lion from the crest of the Philippines. The torch, a device of the State of Indiana, represents the Regiment’s connection to its early station at Fort Benjamin Harrison, Indiana.

Background

The distinctive unit insignia was approved on 12 September 1923 and rescinded on 19 August 1975.
