Shoulder Sleeve Insignia 

Description: On a light khaki square with one angle up, four green ivy leaves arranged per cross issuing from a small open circle (one  leaf in each angle of the square and the vertical and  horizontal axes) all within a light khaki border. 

Symbolism: The four leaves allude to the numerical designation of  the division, while the word "Ivy" as pronounced suggests the characters used in the formation of the Roman numeral "IV." Ivy leaves are symbolic of fidelity and tenacity.
