Description:

On a blue shield arched at top and base, 2 inches in width overall, a stylized tongue of flame ( shaped like an "S" reversed ) yellow and scarlet with a portion of a rifle barrel with fixed bayonet all in white issuing diagonally from lower right to upper left and crossing over the flame all within a 1/8 border.

Symbolism:

Blue and white are the colors associated with infantry. The tongue of the flame alludes to the units firepower, and the bayonet, a basic infantry weapon, is symbolic of carrying the fight to the enemy. The flame and bayonet together refer to the unit's sprit and readiness to engage the enemy in a firefight or hand-to-hand combat with the bayonet.
