The 207th Regiment Distinctive Unit Insignia, also called a DUI or unit crest, was originally approved for the 207th Infantry Battalion on 4 June 1952, but was rescinded on 10 May 1960. It was reinstated and redesignated for the 207th Regiment, with appropriately revised description and symbolism, on 7 April 1997. Commemorating the service of the unit while still an Infantry battalion is a fess across the middle of the shield, a reference to the various nationalities of people who have contributed in some way to the development of Alaska—indigenous, Russian, French, Canadian, and American. The cross is a reference to Anchorage, which is considered the “crossroads to Alaska.”
The anchor is also an allusion to Anchorage, site of the 207th Infantry Battalion’s headquarters, and additionally symbolizes security and safekeeping. The white field throughout the shield recalls the snow fields and glaciers that make up much of Alaska.
Distinctive Unit Insignias are 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.

The 207th Regiment was originally constituted as the 207th Infantry Battalion (see above), but with its redesignation as the 207th Regiment it began a new mission as a training organization tasked with running the Alaska National Guard's Regional Training Institute. As of Autumn 2023, it is fulfilling that mission as the 207th Multi-Functional Training Regiment.
