Description

The Distinctive Unit Insignia of Headquarters and Headquarters Troop, 6th Cavalry Brigade was approved on 21 February 1975 at the same time that the brigade was formed by reconstituting the Headquarters and Headquarters Company, 6th Armored Group, which had been disbanded a quarter of a century earlier in 1952. 6th Armored Group had, in its turn, been established through the reorganization and redesignation of the Headquarters and Headquarters Detachment, 6th Tank Group in February 1944; 6th Tank Group was constituted and activated in April 1942 at Camp Bowie, in Texas.

At the time of its inactivation in June 2005, the 6th Cavalry Brigade was headquartered at Camp Humphreys in Korea. Concurrent with its inactivation, the Brigade was reflagged as the 2nd Multifunctional Aviation Brigade, later to be redesignated as a Combat Aviation Brigade and assigned to the 2nd Infantry Division. The unit cased its colors with five campaign streamers from World War II, all in the European Theater: Normandy, Northern France, Rhineland, Ardennes-Alsace, and Central Europe.

The 6th Cavalry Brigade Distinctive Unit Insignia (unit crest) features a shield superimposed over a pentagon. A white six-pointed star in the middle of the shield is both a symbol of achievement and a reference to the Brigade’s numerical designation, while a bucking horse is an emblem of the origins of Army Cavalry. The pentagon’s five sides represent the five World War II campaigns in which the Brigade fought during World War II.
