Below and to the sides of the shield is a gold scroll inscribed "FIDELIS ET FORTIS" in black letters.

Symbolism

The blue shield represents Infantry, while the white saltire cross honors the regiment's service in the Civil War. The silver oak tree symbolizes the regiment’s service in World War I, specifically the Argonne Forest. The motto, which translates to "Faithful and Brave," reflects the legacy of the old 1st New Jersey Infantry.
