It was redesignated with description amended effective 30 December 1983, for Headquarters, State Area Command, Arizona Army National Guard. This insignia was cancelled and a new design of the shoulder sleeve insignia was approved for Headquarters, State Area Command, Arizona Army National Guard on 5 August 1988.
