Description
English: 10th Mountain Division–distinctive unit insignia

This is the Distinctive Unit Insignia; the Shoulder Sleeve Insignia can be found at :Image:10th Mountain Division-shoulder sleeve insignia.jpeg.

Distinctive Unit Insignia

Summary

A gold color metal and enamel device consisting of a white mountain formed of five peaks above a blue wavy bar and crosses in front overall two red swords point up; behind the mountain peaks a glory of gold rays radiant from center and enclosed by a gold scroll inscribed "CLIMB TO GLORY" in blue letters.

Symbolism

The white mountain symbol and the blue wave represent the Division's World War II combat history in the Northern Apennines and Po Valley Campaigns in Italy. The crossed swords are symbolic of wartime service and further suggest the Roman numeral X, the unit's numerical designation. Scarlet is symbolic of courage and mortal danger, blue denotes steadfastness and loyalty. The gold is for excellence and the white is symbolic of mountain tops and of high aspirations.
