Description/Blazon

A shield blazoned: Argent (silver), with a bend embattled to chief Gules (red) and Azure (blue), the parting line parallel to the lower edge of the ordinary. In the sinister chief, a fleur-de-lis Azure (blue) rayed with bolts of lightning Tenné (orange), and in dexter base, a scorpion bendways Proper (natural color). Above the shield, on a wreath Argent and Azure, is a raven with wings endorsed, emerging from a ducal coronet, all Proper. A bipartite gold scroll is attached below and to the sides of the shield, inscribed "FIRST IN WAR" on the dexter side and "FIRST IN PEACE" on the sinister side.

Symbolism

The white shield represents the old Infantry color. The bend, in the red and blue of the Philippine flag, symbolizes the Regiment's combat service during the Philippine Insurrection. The scorpion denotes service on the Mexican Border, while the fleur-de-lis represents the Regiment's service in France during World War I. The rayed fleur-de-lis signifies the Regiment's breakup, with its personnel serving as effective replacements. The crest, featuring George Washington's raven and ducal coronet, connects to the state of Washington, part of the original Oregon Territory, emphasizing its American heritage. The wreath's twists in white and blue further symbolize this connection.

Background

The distinctive unit insignia was approved on 9 October 1926.
