Description

The design of the 60th Infantry Regiment Distinctive Unit Insignia, commonly known as a unit crest or a DUI, was approved on 11 March 1935 and pays homage to the unit's origins and achievements on the field of battle. A cannon on the canton reflects the fact that the Regiment was organized with troops from the 7th Infantry, and its participation in World War I as part of the 5th Division is denoted by the red lozenge from that Division's shoulder sleeve insignia. Red, white, and black represent engagements against German forces, and the wavy pale represents the crossing of the Meuse River near Dun in November 1918. “To The Utmost Extent Of Our Power” was adopted as the unit motto at the same time the unit crest was approved.

The 60th Infantry Regiment was constituted in the Regular Army on 15 May 1917 and organized 10 June 1917 at Gettysburg National Park in Pennsylvania. Assigned to the 5th Division, the Regiment took part in four World War I campaigns and also served in the Army of Occupation before returning to the U.S. on 21 July 1919.
