Per cross Or and Vert, a saltire counterchanged.
That for the regiments and separate battalions of the New Jersey Army National Guard: On a wreath of the colors Or and Vert, a lions head erased Or collared four fusils Gules.
SPEED AND DECISION.
Yellow and green are used for Armor. The division of the shield per cross was suggested by the arms of the ancient town of Dover, for which Dover, New Jersey, the Headquarters of the Battalion, was named. The saltire was suggested by the arms of Morris, the name of the county in which Dover is located. The saltire also simulates the sails of a windmill and alludes to the initial Dutch settlement of New Jersey, while saltire and cross taken together, allude to the subsequent occupation and development by the English.
The crest is that of the New Jersey Army National Guard.
The coat of arms was approved on 26 May 1955. It was rescinded on 28 July 1961.
