37th Field Artillery Regiment Insignia
The "ON THE MINUTE" motto refers to the precision of Field Artillery targeting, which is traditionally calculated in degrees and minutes. The five waves in the blue band represent the five World War II campaigns in which the regiment participated. The lion is derived from the arms of Belgium and commemorates the regiment's actions during the Ardennes-Alsace campaign and at Elsenborn Ridge.
The distinctive unit insignia was approved on November 17, 1964. The 37th Field Artillery has a long history of service dating back to its constitution in 1918, including combat service during World War II and the Korean War.
