      While the idea of using a shoulder sleeve insignia to identifv a particular unit in the field had its' American start in the civil war, its' U.S. Army rebirth in the twentieth century was not without controversy. The story is told that in October of 1918 in France, the 81 st "Wildcat" division began wearing an olive-drab circle with the black representation of a wildcat thereon. The design was to represent that the division had trained at Camp Jackson in South Carolina on the banks of Wildcat Creek. General Pershing felt that this was detrimental to uniform discipline and ordered that the patch be removed. After his staff studied the situation a bit further, it was found that the idea of each unit having a unique design on their uniform had a positive morale effect on the troops. and, trench warfare being what it was in WW I, the army needed ali the positive effect it could find. Being fairly smart (and, after all, he was the Commanding General), Pershing then ordered that all units should design a shoulder sleeve insignia and proceed to wear it on their uniforms. This gave a feeling to the individual that he was a member of a particular group and should take priđe in the special accomplishments of that unit. Thus, began the army's headlong rush into insignia design. Soon, every unit had to have their own distinguishing marks on everything from the individual soldier to vehicles, equipment and in some cases, even buildings.

      Osnovu znaka 82. divizije čini crveno-plava oznaka korištena za obilježavanje prtljage i vozila u 1.SR. Kako su diviziji pridodane jedinice iz šest, međusobno veoma udaljenih krajeva SAD-a, prozvali su se All American (Sveamerička), što slova AA, ukomponirana u znak i simboliziraju. 1942. postaju padobranska divizija.

      Budući je većina vojnika 83. divizije, tokom Prvog svjetskog rata bila iz države Ohio, u oznaci jedinice se nalazi anagram slova O-H-I-O.

        On a red disc 2 1/2 inches (6.35cm) in diameter an ax stuck in a half split rail - ax and rail white all enclosed with 1/8 inch (.32 cm) (.32cm) Army green border. The 84th Division, once known as the "Lincoln Division," was organized with personnel from Indiana, Kentucky and Illinois, states with which President Abraham Lincoln was associated and where he split rails for fences in his youth. The shoulder sleeve insignia was originally approved for the 84th Division on 15 Apr 1924.

      Upon a red triangle shield 2 1/2 inches (6.35 cm) in height and 2 1/4 inches (5.72 cm) in width a black hawk displayed.  On a red shield on the hawk’s breast the letters “B H” bendwise in black. The black hawk with initials “B H” superimposed on the red shield is symbolic of the nickname of the Division, “Black Hawk Division.”  The shoulder sleeve insignia was originally approved for the 86th Division on 26 November 1918. 

      "Divizija jakih momaka"  Originalno nazivani Texas i Oklahoma divizija, jer su tokom Prvog svjetskog rata bili sastavljenu uglavnom od ljudstva iz te dvije države. Tako i nastaje njihov znak sa inicijalima ove dvije države T i O.

      Originally called the "Texas and Oklahoma' Division, during WW I the 90^th was composed of troops primarily from the two states. Therefore, the initials "T and O' in the patch design.

      On a shield 2 1/2 inches (6.35 cm) overall with a 1/8 inch (.32 cm) black border, a green fir tree on an olive drab background.  Within the tree, the numerals “91” in scarlet. The green fir tree is symbolic of readiness and boldness, the color green signifying fidelity and teadfastness of purpose.  The simplicity of the present design recalls service in World Wars I and II, when the 91st Division wore the distinctive fir tree. The shoulder sleeve insignia was originally approved for the 91st Division by telegram on 8 December 1918 and announced by letter on 23 June 1922. 

      Korijen ove oznake i nadimka divizije vuče porijeklo od indijanskog naziva za jedinicu sastavljenu od crnih vojnika, koji su zimi bili obučeni u tešku odjeću napravljenu od bizonskih koža.

      Within a black circle 2 1/4 inches (5.72cm) in diameter and 1/8 inch (.32cm) of an inch in width upon an olive drab disc a black buffalo statant. The 92^nd Division patch design and name originated from the fact that the Indians called the Negro soldiers "Black Buffalos" when the troops dressed in the heavy buffalo robes in winter. The nickname was inherited from the 367th Infantry, one of the first units of the division organized. The shoulder sleeve insignia was approved by telegram on 6 Dec 1918.

      Upon a blue shield approximately 2 1/2 inches (6.35cm) in height the number “100” in round block letters, the upper half of the numerals white, the lower half yellow. The blue shield represents Infantry; the numerals indicate the numerical designation of the Division. The shoulder sleeve insignia was originally approved for the 100th Division on 29 May 1923. It was redesignated for the 100th Airborne Division on 12 December 1946.

      Because most of the troops constituting the organization came from Missouri and Arkansas, an ingenious use of both an anagram and a rebus in patch design is the 102d "Ozark" Division. When worn correctly, the letters "O" and "Z" are quite apparent and under the "Z" is an are. Thereby: O+Z+Arc=OZARK.
