On a light blue lozenge-shaped embroidered device with rounded corners, a yellow reversed chevron surmounted by a black torch with red outer flame and yellow inner flame, surmounted by two diagonally crossed black rifles, all within a 1/8 inch (.32 cm) black border. Overall dimensions are 2 1/8 inches (5.40 cm) in width by 3 inches (7.62 cm) in length.

Black denotes constancy. The crossed rifles signify teamwork. The Infantry blue and rifles represent the principles of ground combat, which provide the foundation for training warriors and developing military skills.
