The Army component dates back to the 1849 founding of a state militia, then called the First California Guard; the Air component, based in Sacramento, traces its roots back to August of 1917 when the 115th Aero Squadron was formed to support the United States’ efforts in World War I.

The ribbon is divided into three equal sections with yellow in the center flanked by dark blue on either side; it features yellow edging.
