Origin/meaning
Shoulder Sleeve Insignia: The coyote is a native of South Dakota. As the territory was originally a part of the Louisiana Purchase, the twists of the wreath are yellow and blue. The shoulder sleeve insignia was originally approved for Headquarters and Headquarters Detachment, South Dakota National Guard on 27 December 1951. It was redesignated for Headquarters, State Area Command, South Dakota Army National Guard on 30 December 1983
Distinctive Unit Insignia: The coyote from the crest for units of the South Dakota Army National Guard denotes the organization's allotment. The sun is suggested by the State flag of South Dakota and its nickname "The Sunshine State." The black triangles allude to the headquarters location at Rapid City, South Dakota, the chief gateway to the scenic Black Hills. The distinctive unit insignia was originally approved for Headquarters and Headquarters Detachment and noncolor bearing units of South Dakota Army National Guard on 2 December 1971. The insignia was redesignated effective 1 October 1982, for Headquarters, State Area Command, South Dakota Army National Guard.
Crest: The coyote is a native of South Dakota. The crest for color bearing organizations of the State of South Dakota was approved on 21 January 1924.
