Description

The Distinctive Unit Insignia (unit crest) of the 11th Armored Cavalry Regiment (ACR) pays homage to the history of the regiment's oldest component, the 11th Cavalry. Two bolos, or machetes, represent the unit’s actions in the jungles of the Philippines, while the cactus stands for the mounted troopers service along the Mexican border in 1916. A black horse head acknowledges the ACR’s Special Designation of “Blackhorse” (use the "Unit Patch" link below for an explanation of this designation).

The Regimental motto, “Allons,” variously means “Come” or “Let’s Go,” depending on usage.

Originally approved for the 11th Cavalry Regiment on 6 January 1925., this insignia was redesignated for the 11th Armored Cavalry Regiment on 26 November 1951.
