Description/Blazon

A blue shield featuring a silver cross arranged in a saltire (diagonal) pattern. The motto "RIDE THE STORM" accompanies the design.

Symbolism

The blue shield represents the Infantry. The cross forms two intersecting "8"s, a subtle reference to the unit's designation, often seen as canting heraldry. The cross also resembles a propeller, symbolizing the unit's connection to aviation.
