91st Division (ARSC)
Second Design

SHOULDER SLEEVE INSIGNIA. Description. On a shield 2½ inches (6.35cm) overall with a 1/8 inch (.32cm) black border, a green fir tree on an olive drab background. Within the tree, the numerals "91" in scarlet.

Symbolism: The green fir tree is symbolic of readiness and boldness, the color green signifying fidelity and steadfastness of purpose. The simplicity of the present design recalls service in World Wars I and II, when the 91st Division wore the distinctive fir tree.

Background: The shoulder sleeve insignia was originally approved for the 91st Division by telegram on 8 Dec 1918 and by letter on 23 Jun 1922. It was rescinded on 25 Mar 1968. A new insignia was designed and approved on 25 Mar 1968. On 7 Jul 1993 the insignia was cancelled and a new shoulder sleeve insignia was approved for the 91st Division. The shoulder sleeve insignia was redesignated for the 91st Division (Training Support) effective 1 Oct 1999.

DISTINCTIVE UNIT INSIGNIA. Description: A gold color metal and enamel device 1 1/8 inches (2.86cm) in width overall, consisting of a green enamel fir tree charged in chief with a gold five pointed star and in base a red enamel fleur-de-lis, all in front of a blue enamel wavy band, below a gold scroll bearing the inscription "Powder River" in black enamel letters.

Symbolism: The green fir tree has been a traditional symbol used by the Unit since 1919. The scarlet fleur-de-lis refers to courageous combat service in Europe during World War I and World War II. The gold star stands for the high achievements of the 91st Division training program, while the wavy blue band symbolizes the meandering Powder River that stimulated the famous battle cry of the 91st Division, "Powder River, Let’er Buck".

Background: The distinctive unit insignia was approved on 2 May 1968. The insignia was redesignated for the 91st Division (Training Support) effective 1 Oct 1999.
