Description

English:

Shoulder Sleeve Insignia of the 3d Infantry Division of the United States Army

Description:

Upon a blue square 2 inches, three white stripes each 3/8 inch in width from heraldic sinister chief to dexter base; the blue background between the white stripes also being 3/8 inch in width; all within a 1/8 inch Army Green border.

The overall dimension is 2-1/4 inches on each side.

Symbolism:

The three white stripes of the insignia are symbolical of the three major operations in which the division participated during World War I.
The blue field symbolizes the loyalty of those who placed their lives on the altar of self-sacrifice in defense of the American ideals of liberty and democracy.

Background:

This insignia was originally approved on 24 Oct 1918 for the 3rd Division, amended to correct the wording of the description on 11 Oct 1922 and redesignated with an amendment to include the border in the description for the 3d Infantry Division on 15 May 1964.
