[edit] Shoulder Sleeve Insignia

Description: Centered on a vertical rectangle arched at top and bottom, 2 inches (5.08 cm) in width and 3 inches (7.62 cm) in height overall, a scarlet arrowhead, its point upon the center of a blue gunsight symbol (a circle over crossed vertical and horizontal centerlines) and below the arrowhead three blue waves, all on a yellow background within a 1/8 inch (.32 cm) scarlet border.

Symbolism: Scarlet and yellow are the colors associated with Field Artillery. The arrowhead and gunsight symbolize the basic mission of the Brigade and the waves in base refer to the many waterways of the State of Wisconsin, which is an Indian word meaning “gathering of the waters.” The red arrowhead also denotes the unit’s long association with the 32d Infantry Division.

Background: The shoulder sleeve insignia was approved on 25 October 1979.
