Description: Shoulder sleeve patch of the U.S. 10th Mountain Division The 10th Mountain shoulder patch consists of a white-bordered powder keg. The powder keg is in blue and, superimposed on it are two red bayonets crossed so as to form the Roman numeral “X”. The bayonets represent the Infantry and the numerical designation of the Division. This is the Shoulder Sleeve Insignia; the Distinctive Unit Insignia can be found at Image:10th Mountain Division-distinctive unit insignia.jpeg. On a blue powder keg-like background, with a white border, two bayonets in saltire throughout scarlet fimbriated white. The blue background and the bayonets are symbolic of infantry while the position of the bayonets in saltire simulates the numerical designation of the organization.
