Commonly known as a unit crest, the Distinctive Unit Insignia (DUI) of the 410th Regiment was originally approved for the 410th Infantry Regiment, Organized Reserves on 23 Feb 1926; it was amended on 29 July 1959 to withdraw "Organized Reserves" from the designation. On 25 June 1970 the insignia was amended to revise its description and the symbolism of the design. The DUI was redesignated for the 410th Regiment and given a new description on 9 July 1999; this description was amended on 17 October 2016 to reflect the Regiment’s reorganization.
The insignia features the Zia Sun symbol, a sacred symbol of the Zia peoples that appears on the State flag of New Mexico. The symbol’s four terminal points symbolize the four cardinal directions, four seasons in a calendar years, the four parts of a day (morning, mid-day, evening, and night), and the four periods of life (childhood, youth, middle age, old age). At the center of the symbol is a yellow disc that represents the sun, the symbol of life itself according to Zia traditions and beliefs. The Regimental motto, SUPER ARDUA SURGO, the Regimental motto, translates as "I Rise Above Difficulties."
The Distinctive Unit Insignia is worn by all Soldiers (except General Officers) in units that have been authorized to be issued the device. It is worn centered on the shoulder loops of the Army Green Service Uniform (AGSU) and the blue Army Service Uniform (ASU, Enlisted only) with the base of the insignia toward the outside shoulder seam. DUIs are not worn on the Dress variations of either uniform, however.
Full guidance on wear of the DUI is found in DA Pamphlet 670-1,
Section 21-22, "Distinctive unit insignia" and 21–3(d) and (e),
"Beret" and
"Garrison Cap," respectively.
