A gold color metal and enamel device 1 3/16 inches (3.02 cm) in height consisting of two gold fasces crossed diagonally and superimposed by a black olla bearing a gold fleur-de-lis debruised by a red bovine skull. Attached at top a blue scroll inscribed "ATTACK ATTACK" and attached at bottom a blue scroll inscribed "ATTACK" all in gold letters.
Blue reflects the Infantry. The black olla (a Mexican water flask), suggestive of training in New Mexico during World War I, is adapted from the original 34th Infantry Division, shoulder sleeve insignia and conveys the unit's heritage. The stylized red bovine skull is also taken from that insignia and is symbolic of vitality, courage and strength. The two fasces imply authority and commemorate the unit's campaign service in Italy during World War II. The gold fleur-de-lis alludes to excellence and the Division's French Croix de Guerre for service in World War II. The motto, "Attack, Attack, Attack", was adopted by the Division in 1943 and characterized the nature of the Division's combat operations for the remainder of World War II.
The distinctive unit insignia was authorized on 27 December 1990.
