Summary[edit]
- Drum Shell: On a scarlet and blue field, parted by a silhouette of the Alamo with medium blue architectural details, below a white faceted star arching up and turned back a French horizon blue scroll doubled dark blue bearing the inscription “THIRTY-SIXTH INFANTRY DIVISION BAND” in white letters, surmounted in the center and over the Alamo façade a flint Indian arrowhead also in French horizon blue with an olive drab block “T,” at the arrowhead point a spray of palms in olive drab, flanking out to the sides two columns of scrolls, on the left column containing two scrolls in red for inscribing the two decorations (Meritorious Unit Commendation and French Croix de Guerre) and the right column containing six red scrolls for inscribing the six Campaigns the unit was involved in during World War II (Naples-Foggia, (with arrowhead), Anzio, Rome-Arno, Southern France (with arrowhead), Rhineland, and Central Europe).
Symbolism[edit]
- The flint Indian arrowhead surmounted by the letter “T” is the unit’s shoulder sleeve insignia and distinctive unit insignia, worn by the soldiers of the 36th Infantry Division during European Operations in World War II.
- The white star combined with the scarlet and the blue background and scrolls represents the Texas state flag, the unit’s home state.
