The shoulder sleeve insignia was originally approved for the 108th Airborne Division on 10 May 1948. It was amended to add the airborne tab on 1 June 1949. On 30 March 1953, the insignia was redesignated for the 108th Infantry Division and amended to delete the airborne tab. On 7 September 1960, the insignia was redesignated for the 108th Division. It was redesignated effective 16 September 2008, for the 108th Training Command with the description updated. (TIOH Drawing Number A-1-153)
