Description

Shoulder Sleeve Insignia of the 479th Field Artillery Brigade.

Description
  • On a red shield arched at top and bottom, 2 inches (5.08 cm) in width and 3 inches (7.62 cm) in height overall, a yellow saltire bearing a pellet all within a 1/8 inch (.32 cm) red border.
Symbolism
  • Scarlet and yellow are the colors traditionally used by Field Artillery. A saltire symbolizes strength and its shape forms an “X” indicating a target and alluding to the mission of Field Artillery, while the pellet centered thereon symbolizes “on target accuracy” or a direct hit. On a map showing deployment forces, an “X” indicates the presence of a brigade and a “dot” indicates Field Artillery. The design symbolizes the branch, mission and echelon of the unit.
Background
  • The shoulder sleeve insignia was approved on 4 January 1980. It was cancelled effective 17 October 1999, when the brigade was redesignated as the 4th Brigade, 75th Division. It was restored on December 1, 2006 when the Brigade was restored to the Active Rolls.
