The shield symbolizes the Regiment's notable service in France, specifically the cutting of the railway line between Montmedy and Sedan on November 6, 1918, from positions near Stenay. The arms of Montmedy bear a black lion, Sedan a black boar, and Stenay a gold lion rampant. The two broken bars represent the disrupted railroad line between Montmedy (black lion) and Sedan (black boar), with the Regiment’s position at Stenay indicated by the rampant red lion for Artillery. The gold shield reflects the colors of Lorraine, where the engagement occurred. The motto translates to "I Forbid."
