Description[edit]
Blazon
- Shield: Azure, a testudo of three shields Or, in chief a Roman sword fessways of the like.
- Crest: That for the regiments and separate battalions of the Army Reserve: On a wreath of the colors Or and Azure, the Lexington Minute Man Proper. The statue of the Minute Man, Captain John Parker (H.H. Kitson, sculptor), stands on the Common in Lexington, Massachusetts.
- Motto: Latin: "Ubique Impavidi", "In all things, Undaunted"
Symbolism
- Shield: The field is blue, as Tanks belong to the Infantry. One of the earliest examples of the equivalent of a Tank was the old Roman Testudo made by joining shields together so that protection and mobility were obtained at the same time with offensive power. To indicate these characteristics of a Tank unit, three shields in gold are joined to represent the testudo, and to represent offensive power there is a Roman sword in gold.
- Crest: The crest is that of the United States Army Reserve.
