A silver color metal and enamel device 1 1/4 inches (3.18 cm) in height consisting of a vertical silver bayonet, the blade encircled by a silver mural crown lined with red (scarlet) all within a stylized continuous scroll in blue (Infantry blue), the scroll passing under the point of the bayonet and over the bayonet handle and partially behind the crown and bayonet guard, and bearing at top the two words "LIGHT" "SWIFT" and at base the word "ACCURATE" all in silver letters.

The light blue refers to Infantry and the red to Artillery elements of the organization. The bayonet, a basic weapon of Infantry élan, refers to Fort Benning (The Infantry School) where the organization was activated while the mural crown alludes to the Infantry sobriquet "Queen of Battles." The mural crown is also heraldically symbolic of aggressive and successful attack on a fortified position or beleaguered city and in ancient times was given as a sign of courage and triumph to the unit which first stormed and scaled a city's walls. The three words of the motto allude to the organization's mobility and accuracy of fire and operation in the accomplishment of its mission.

The distinctive unit insignia was approved on 27 June 1966.

A silver color metal and enamel device 2 inches (5.08 cm) in height consisting of a design similar to the shoulder sleeve insignia.
