A gold color metal and enamel device 1 3/16 inches (4.60cm) in height, consisting of a bundle of five gold arrows, points up, encompassed on either side of the tripartite black scroll passing across the center of the arrows and inscribed "MOVE STRIKE DESTROY" in gold letters; overall in base a red coiled rattlesnake.
Yellow/gold is the color traditionally associated with Cavalry. The coiled rattlesnake epitomizes the unit's motto capabilities and military preparedness. The snake also alludes to the unit's association with the old 116th Armored Cavalry Regiment. The five arrows symbolize the unit's five campaign credits during World War II as Field Artillery; scarlet and yellow/gold are the colors associated with Field Artillery.
The distinctive unit insignia was approved on 2 May 1989.
