The 102nd Armor Regiment shares it history with both Armor and Cavalry Regiments.
As for their unit crests, a yellow shield is used to denote the Regiment’s Armor affiliation, but it is even more appropriate here because the unit served also as a Cavalry unit and yellow was its color until the 1950s. Two fleurs-de-lis represent service in France during both World Wars, and the horse’s head is the Essex Troop. FIDE ET FORTITUDINE is Latin for "By Fidelity and Fortitude."
Nicknamed the “First New Jersey” and “First New Jersey Cavalry,” the 102nd Armor Regiment was a New Jersey Army National Guard unit with a service life that can be divided into two major periods. From 1913 to 1968, it was part of the Cavalry Branch; from 1968 to 2008, it was assigned to the Armored branch. It was redesignated in 2008 as the 102nd Cavalry Regiment, but instead of redesignating this insignia, it adopted the insignia previously assigned to the 117th Cavalry Regiment.)
The 102nd Armor Regiment’s battle honors include two campaign streamers from World War I and seven from World War, two of them with Arrowhead devices indicating participation in an assault landing. Its units were also honored with a pair of French Croix de Guerre, and Troop B, 1st Squadron is entitled to display a WWII Asiatic-Pacific Theater streamer without inscription. The 102nd Armor Regiment also is credited with participation in the Iraqi Surge campaign of Operation Iraqi Freedom.
