Coats of arms of U.S. Infantry Regiments

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Coats of arms of US Infantry Regiments are heraldic emblems associated with infantry regiments in the US Army. By Army regulation, all regiments of the US Army organized under a Table of Organization and Equipment are authorized a coat of arms to be displayed on the organization's standard, called the "colors." This coat of arms also forms the basis for the unit's "distinctive unit insignia", the emblem worn by all members of the unit on their service uniforms.^[1]

The coats of arms for infantry units normally incorporate the color blue, which has been the traditional color of the Infantry Branch in the U.S. Army since 1851.^[2] Below are galleries of the coats of arms of US Army Infantry regiments. The official mottoes (as awarded by The Institute of Heraldry of the U.S. Army) and/or Special Designations (as awarded by the U.S. Army Center of Military History) of the units are also noted.
