Description/Blazon

A shield blazoned: Per bend Gules and Azure, on a bend Or a bendlet Argent indented with seven counter-indented segments of the same fimbriated Sable. The shield is surmounted by a gold metal oval belt with three blue enamel stripes parallel to the edges and a plain gold metal buckle at the base. Flanking the shield are gold metal bands, each bearing the motto "SEMPER" on the dexter band and "PRIMUS" on the sinister band, in red enamel letters.

Symbolism

The regiment was organized in 1791 as the 2d Infantry, re-designated the Infantry of the 2d Sub-Legion in 1792, and later returned to the 2d Infantry designation in 1796. After the Army's consolidation and reorganization in 1815, it became the 1st Infantry. The regiment's extensive history is symbolized by the 14 notches on the diagonal band across the shield, representing its campaigns. The red upper section of the shield recalls the color of the old 2d Sub-Legion, while the blue lower section reflects the modern Infantry color. The motto, long associated with the regiment, signifies its enduring excellence.

Background

The distinctive unit insignia was originally approved on 8 September 1923. It was amended on 4 November 1999 to include additional symbolism and metric measurements.
