The heraldic achievement depicted in this photo represents the 307th (Infantry) Regiment, USA Army. Heraldic symbols have been used by the U.S Armed Forces since 1775, but only in 1919 a heraldry program started to be coordinated. The Institute of Heraldry (TIOH) is the agency that provides heraldic services to the U.S. Armed Forces since August 10, 1960. A heraldic achievement contains multiple components like a shield, supporters, crest, and motto. The most important one is the shield, also called escutcheon, on which we can see the coat of arms as a central element.
