{{ | The shield is red for artillery. The yellow dovetailed chief symbolizes the formation of the organization from cavalry. The cactus indicates service as cavalry on the Mexican border. The five fleurs-de-lis signify the five major engagements in France in World War I as artillery. The crest is taken from the arms of Montfaucon, as most of the 77th Field Artillery was there when the Armistice was signed. | ||
The Coat of Arms and Distinctive Unit Insignia was originally approved for the 77th Field Artillery Regiment on 10 December 1929. They was redesignated for the 634th Field Artillery Battalion on 28 July 1944. They was redesignated for the 77th Artillery Regiment on 16 December 1958. They was redesignated effective 1 September 1971, for the 77th Field Artillery Regiment. The insignia was amended to clarify the symbolism on 12 August 1985. | |||
