The Nineteenth Corps first design shoulder patch
was approved by the AGO on April 6th, 1935, after the
Corps was allocated to the Organized Reserves in
California and seven other western and northwestern
states.

Records do not indicate that the Corps was ever activated
after it was constituted under the authority of an AGO
letter dated July 29th, 1921, and before it was officially
disbanded as an Organized Reserve unit on October 1st, 1943.

The mission bell on the shoulder patch is representative
of the territory to which the Corps was allocated, and the
colors red and yellow represent the original Spanish
settlement in this territory.
