Origin/meaning

The Canton shows the Coat of Arms of the 4th Field Artillery Regiment from which the 15th was formed in 1917.

During the War the Regiment formed part of the Second Division whose Shoulder Sleeve insignia can be seen in the Crest (today the divisional insignia is shield shaped). The French 75 mm Field Gun was used by the Regiment during World War I.

It was redesignated for the 15th Artillery Regiment on 10 February 1958. The Insignia was redesignated affective 1 September 1971, for the 15th Field Artillery Regiment.
