Description/Blazon

A shield blazoned: Parti per fess Argent and Azure, in chief a sea lion holding in its dexter paw a musket with bayonet Gules, in base a mullet within a wreath, both of the first; on a canton of the second, a rock of the first charged with a shoulder strap of a second lieutenant of Infantry of 1863 Proper. Attached below and to the sides of the shield is a silver scroll inscribed "ANYWHERE-ANYTIME" in blue letters.

Symbolism

The shield combines Infantry colors with elements representing the Regiment's history. The sea lion in the upper portion signifies the Regiment's service in the Philippines, holding a musket to reflect its military role. The lower part of the shield features a mullet and wreath, representing the Regiment's birthplace in Texas. The canton displays the crest of the 19th United States Infantry, recalling their service during the Civil War. The rock and shoulder strap symbolize the Second Lieutenant's command of the 19th Infantry after the Battle of Chickamauga in 1863, when the Regiment was significantly reduced in numbers and led by a junior officer.

Background

The distinctive unit insignia was approved on 24 March 1924 and rescinded on 4 March 1976.
