The powder keg is in blue and, superimposed on it are two red bayonets in saltire so as to form the Roman numeral “X”. The bayonets represent the Infantry and the numerical designation of the Division. This is the Shoulder Sleeve Insignia; the Distinctive Unit Insignia can be found at Image:10th Mountain Division-distinctive unit insignia.jpeg.
