Description/Blazon
A gold metal and enamel device, featuring a shield blazoned: Per chevron Gules and Gray, a chevron rompu embattled to chief Argent, between in chief the cipher "NG" and a lion rampant Or, and in base a bomb flamant of the last charged with the numeral seven Sable. The shield is surmounted by a blue circular garter inscribed "PRO PATRIA ET GLORIA" in gold, buckled in gold, folded at the top, and topped with a gold flintlock hammer.
Symbolism
The bursting bomb represents the regiment's original artillery assignment. The old uniform was cadet gray, adorned with the monogram "N.G." For over fifty years, the 107th Infantry Regiment was the sole organization bearing the title "National Guard," a designation adopted by the U.S. Government in 1869. The rampant lion commemorates service in Picardy, France, during World War I. The embattled and broken chevron symbolizes the breaking of the Hindenburg Line, in which the regiment participated. The motto translates to "For Country and Glory."
Background
The distinctive unit insignia was originally approved for the 107th Infantry Regiment on February 26, 1924. It was amended to correct the description on March 28, 1925. It was redesignated for the 207th Coast Artillery Regiment on October 24, 1940, and redesignated for the 107th Infantry Regiment on March 30, 1951. It was further redesignated for the 107th Support Group with revised description and symbolism effective September 1, 1993.
