Description

The 221st Cavalry Regiment Distinctive Unit Insignia, also called a DUI or unit crest, was originally approved on 18 September 1981 for the 221st Armor Regiment, Nevada Army National Guard. It was redesignated for the 221st Cavalry Regiment on 10 December 1997.

In the chief (upper third) of the insignia is a silver (white) star on a blue background; the star is from the State flag and the colors are the state colors. The lower two-thirds of the shield feature a red pile on a yellow background, representing the branches of Armor-Cavalry (yellow) and Artillery in which both the current 221st Cavalry and its predecessors have served, with the pile recalling the blast trail of an Artillery rocket (the 221st was one of just a few Rocket Artillery organizations in the U.S. Army during World War II).

A galloping mustang, a horse noted for its rugged adaptability, is descended from the warhorses of Spanish Conquistadors and symbolizes a combat maneuver unit such as Cavalry or Artillery. “Never Broken” is the unit motto.

The 221st Cavalry Regiment in 2020 is comprised of a single squadron, the 1st, that is assigned to the 116th Cavalry Brigade Combat Team, Idaho Army National Guard. The Squadron is headquartered in Las Vegas.
