35th Infantry Unit Crest

35th Infantry Regiment Unit Crest

The 35th Infantry Regiment Unit Crest is the distinctive unit insignia (DUI) of the U.S. Army's 35th Infantry Regiment. Featuring a cactus and symbols representing the regiment's historic connections to the 11th, 18th, and 22nd Infantry Regiments, the crest reflects the history and heritage of the 35th Infantry Regiment.

The regiment's motto, "TAKE ARMS!", comes from the warning calls heard during the opening of the Battle of Ambos Nogales while the 35th Infantry was serving along the Mexican border. The cactus on the insignia also represents the regiment's early service along the Mexican border.

35th Infantry Regiment Insignia

The 35th Infantry Regiment was constituted in the Regular Army on July 1, 1916, and organized later that month with personnel from the 11th, 18th, and 22nd Infantry Regiments. The distinctive unit insignia incorporates elements representing each of these regiments, while the cactus represents the 35th Infantry's service along the Mexican border.

The 35th Infantry Regiment later served with the 25th Infantry Division during World War II and the Korean War and has continued to carry the regiment's distinctive heritage into more recent Army service. The unit is also known by its nickname, the "Cacti."

Whether you are replacing a missing unit crest, completing an Army uniform, honoring prior service, or adding to a collection of U.S. Army insignia, the 35th Infantry Unit Crest is a distinctive piece of military history.
