Description: On a red shield, 2 3/8 inches (6.03 cm) in width and 2 1/2 inches (6.35 cm) in height, a badger's face, black with white markings and red tongue.

Symbolism: The red of the background is one of the National colors. The badger is from the crest of the State Seal of Wisconsin and alludes to the State nickname "The Badger State."

It was redesignated for Headquarters, State Area Command, Wisconsin Army National Guard on 30 December 1983. The insignia was amended to correct the wording of the description and symbolism on 7 August 1986.
