SHOULDER SLEEVE INSIGNIA
Symbolism: The timberwolf represents the heartiness and vigor of life in the western states, tenacity in pursuit of mission accomplishment, and unity of purpose associated with familial behavior.
Symbolism: The design is based upon the numerical designation of the division, the descrescent held in the martlet's beak symbolizing the Roman numeral "C" representing 100, and the martlet being the heraldic representation of the fourth son.
