This circular emblem features an eight-petaled flower-four red upper petals symbolizing courage and sacrifice, four blue lower petals denoting loyalty and vigilance-encircling a central white disc representing purity and integrity, all enclosed by an olive-drab border signifying military service. Adopted in 1943, it reflects the division’s origins as a specialized mountain warfare unit trained for high-altitude operations during World War II. Today, it remains a proud identifier for one of the U.S. Army’s most deployable light infantry divisions.
