A silver color metal and enamel insignia 1 1/8 inches (2.86 cm) in height consisting of a red diamond shaped spearhead pointed upwards and bisecting a blue wave, encircling the base of the spearhead a silver scroll inscribed with the words "WE WILL" in black.
The design symbolizes the piercing of the German Army's Meuse River defenses by the men of the 5th Division in World War I, an achievement which caused the organization to be known as the Meuse Division and gave them their Red Diamond emblem. The operation was described by General Pershing as "one of the most brilliant military feats in the history of the American Army in France."
The distinctive unit insignia was approved on 27 September 1965.
