The two principal colors of the shield are those of the Infantry. The lion on the distinctive unit insignia is the same as the French leopard used in the arms of Normandy, and commemorates the organization's landing and campaign in the province. The silver bar, called a bend, is in honor of the organization's crossing of the Rhine River.
