Crest
That for regiments and separate battalions of the California Army National Guard: From a wreath of colors, the setting sun behind a grizzly bear passant on a grassy field all Proper.
California is the Sunset State, the Golden Gate Commonwealth. The grizzly bear was on the flag of the California Republic. As the original settlement within the State was of Spanish origin, the twists of the wreath are yellow and red.
The crest was approved for the color bearing organizations of the National Guard for the State of California on 5 January 1924. It was amended to change the blazon on 19 January 1926.
