Symbolism
Scarlet and yellow are the colors traditionally associated with Field Artillery. The rayed sun, a symbol of excellence, gives the allusion of a shellburst, and also suggests the scenic wonders of Wyoming. The bucking bronco expresses the spirit, determination and heritage of the soldiers of the Wyoming Army National Guard.
Background
The shoulder sleeve insignia was approved on 9 June 1988. (TIOH Drawing Number A-1-750)
