[edit] DISTINCTIVE UNIT INSIGNIA.

[edit] Description:

  • A silver color metal and enamel device, 1 1/8 inches in height overall consisting of pair of blue enamel stylized wings, tips down surmounted by a white enamel fleur-de-lis supported by a blue enamel scroll inscribed, "IN AIR, ON LAND" in silver color metal letters.

[edit] Symbolism:

  • The fleur-de-lis is representative of the battle honors earned in France during World War I. The wings are symbolic of the Division’s mission. The motto is expressive of the personnel of the organization either on land or in the air.

[edit] Background:

  • The distinctive unit insignia was approved on October 23, 1942. It was cancelled and a Distinctive Unit Insignia of the same design as the shoulder sleeve was authorized July 31, 1990. The original distinctive unit insignia was reinstated on May 21, 1998.
