This military insignia image could be re-created using vector graphics as an SVG file. This has several advantages; see Commons:Media for cleanup for more information. If an SVG form of this image is available, please upload it and afterwards replace this template with {{vector version available|new image name}}.
It is recommended to name the SVG file “16 FA Rgt DUI.svg”—then the template Vector version available (or Vva) does not need the new image name parameter.
This military insignia image was uploaded in the JPEG format even though it consists of non-photographic data. This information could be stored more efficiently or accurately in the PNG or SVG format. If possible, please upload a PNG or SVG version of this image without compression artifacts, derived from a non-JPEG source (or with existing artifacts removed). After doing so, please tag the JPEG version with {{Superseded|NewImage.ext}} and remove this tag. This tag should not be applied to photographs or scans. If this image is a diagram or other image suitable for vectorisation, please tag this image with {{Convert to SVG}} instead of {{BadJPEG}}. If not suitable for vectorisation, use {{Convert to PNG}}. For more information, see {{BadJPEG}}.
The dancette fess is for the hills and mountains with which the regiment's history is connected (King's Mountain, North Carolina; Hill 304 near Verdun; Hill 295 north of Septsarges, France; the Landskrone, Rhineland; and Mt. Rainer, Washington). The black is for the battle losses. The three stars are for three major operations of World War I in which the regiment took part. The horse's head indicates a mounted regiment, and the ivy leaf is taken from the shoulder sleeve insignia of the 4th Division to which the regiment was assigned in 1917.
