210th Regiment (Regional Training Institute)
The 210th Regiment's distinctive unit insignia was authorized on 11 June 1998. It shows a silver color metal and enamel device 1 1/8 inches (2.86cm) in height overall blazoned: Celeste, a chevron Or between three escallop shells two and one Argent. Attached below the shield is a light blue scroll doubled and inscribed "WE TRAIN ALL" in silver.
The DUI's chevron for support denotes the regiments training mission, while the scallop shells symbolize the three branches of the Army which the regiment supports. Light blue suggests the Caribbean Sea, the location of the regiment. The scallop shells are a traditional symbol of pilgrims and allude to the story of St. Ursula and the 1100 virgins slaughtered while on a pilgrimage. Columbus named the Virgin Islands in their honor. The shells also suggest the island nature of the regiment's location.
