U.S. ARMY 358TH REGIMENT UNIT CREST (DUI)

The 358th Regiment Distinctive Unit Insignia, more commonly referred to as a “unit crest” or DUI, was first approved for the 358th Regiment Infantry, Organized Reserves on 28 July 1925. It was amended twice, first to remove “Organized Reserves” from the designation in 1959 and in 1970 to revise the design’s symbolism. It was redesignated with an updated description for the 358th Regiment on 7 June 1999.

Blue is used for the insignia’s shield to reflect the unit’s origins as an Infantry unit. The embattled fess (horizontal band) stands for the field fortifications taken from the enemy at Stenay in World War I, while the fleur-de-lis denotes service in France during both World Wars. A single star, or “Lone Star,” is taken from the seal of Texas and reflects the Regiment’s geographic allocation. PERAGIMUS, the unit motto, is Latin for “We Accomplish."

Guidance on wear of the DUI is found in DA Pamphlet 670-1,
Section 21-22, "Distinctive unit insignia" and 21–3(d) 7and (e), "Beret" and "Garrison Cap," respectively.

A parent regiment in the United States Army Regimental System since 2009, the 358th Regiment consists (as of Autumn 2023) of two Battalions, the 2nd and 3rd, both assigned to the 189th Combined Arms Training Brigade, sometimes still referred to as the 189th Infantry Brigade. The 2nd Battalion conducts Armor training for Active, Reserve, and National Guard personnel, while 3rd Battalion trains Field Artillery units. Both Battalions are stationed at Joint Base Lewis-McChord.

The 358th Regiment was originally constituted as the 358th Infantry in the National Army on 5 August 1917.  Assigned to the 90th Division, the Regiment took part in three campaigns in World War I before the signing of the Armistice on 11 November 1918 and was demobilized in June 1919. Reconstituted in the Organized Reserves on 24 June 1921 with the same designation and assigned to the same parent organization, the 90th Division, the Regiment was ordered into active military service on 25 March 1942 and took part in the D-Day action at Normandy, earning the Regiment a coveted Arrowhead device for participating in an assault landing. It would take part in four more campaign before returning to the U.S. to be inactivated in December 1945.

Reorganized in April 1959 as a parent regiment in the old Combat Arms Regimental System, its relationships with the 90th Infantry Division continued since its sole component, the 1st Battle Group, was an element of the 90th Infantry Division. This would be the case until 1965, when the Regiment’s two Battalions were inactivated and relieved from assignment to the 90th Infantry Division. From 1999 to 2009, the Regiment’s Battalions were organized as elements of the 91st Division (Training Support) and allotted to the Regular Army; with its entry into the U.S. Army Regimental System, Regiment’s Battalions were relieved from assignment to the 91st ID. In 2016, the Regiment was reorganized to consist of just two Battalions (see above).
