Origin/meaning
The field of red is for Artillery, the dragon on the canton is from the arms of the 1st Cavalry, the parent organization. The first hostile shot fired by the Regiment was across the Rio Grande in clearing Juarez of the Villaistas in June 15-16, 1919. This is shown by the projectile on the wavy fess. The crest symbolizes horse artillery, occasionally known in times past as flying artillery.
