Crest: On a wreath of the colors, argent and gules, a four headed wyvern without wings of the first scaled azure and armed and langued or grasping a mace silver with seven spikes gold charged with a roundel parti per pale gules and vert. Motto: Mission Accomplished. Symbolism: The bend, from the coat of arms approved for the former 41st Coast Artillery, and the broad arrow from that of the 41st Field Artillery Battalion, symbolize the consolidation of these two units. The bend carries the eight bars of the old Hawaiian flag and arms indicating the service of the old 41st Coast Artillery in the Coast Defenses of Honolulu. The broad arrow was used in the coat of arms of the 41st Field Artillery Battalion to symbolize the celerity of movement and shock of impact. The four heads of the wyvern refer to the unit’s four spearhead attacks in World War II. Blue and white are the colors of the shoulder sleeve insignia of the 3d Infantry Division to which the unit was once assigned. The mace and the red and green colors, from the arms of Colmar, France, refer to the unit’s distinguished action during the capture of that city for which it was awarded unit decorations. Red, green, and white, the colors of the national flag of Italy, allude to the organization’s action at Anzio. Distinctive Unit Insignia The distinctive unit insignia is the shield and motto of the coat of arms.
