Coat of Arms
- Argent, a wyvern glissant, sans legs, tail nowed vert, langued, eyed and barbed gules.
- On a wreath, argent and vert, between two triton shells gules and surmounting an annulet sable fimbriated of the first flamant of the third, three spearheads of the first each bearing in base an ermine spot of the fourth.
Motto: Courage Conquers.
- The shield is green and white, the colors of the Armored Force.
- The wyvern represents the deadliness of the tank.
- The three spearheads stand for Sorld War II decoration streamers, Normandy; Moselle River; and Ardennes, and for the regiment’s claim to the title Point of the Spearhead.
- The ermine spots are from the arms of Nantes, Brittany, France.
- The annulet ringed with flames represents Bastogne surrounded by enemy fire. The triton shells, used as war trumpets by early inhabitants of Pacific islands, are scarlet, the color of the Meritorious Unit Commendation streamer awarded for service in the Pacific theater.
