Shield
The field is blue for Infantry. The regiment was organized in 1917 from the 36th Infantry (shown on the canton) at Fort Snelling (shown by tower). During World War I it was in the 10th Division; the annulet is taken from the unofficial insignia of the Division.
Crest
The lion rampant is from the coat of arms of Belgium; it refers to the Regiment's participation in "The Battle of the Bulge" in Belgium in World War II. The lion is red for valor; the upper part is white in reference to the snow-covered terrain of the battle. The broken spear refers to the breaking of the German salient or spearhead. The crescent stands for Algeria and alludes to the Regiment's first combat service in World War II. The tower represents the fortress of Europe; its four battlements stand for the unit's four Distinguished Unit Citations. The three waves refer to the Regiment's three assault landings in World War II.
The coat of arms was originally approved on 28 Jun 1921 for the 41st Infantry. It was redesignated for the 41st Infantry (Armored) on 18 Nov 1940. On 13 Jan 1941 the coat of arms was amended to add a motto. It was redesignated for the 41st Armored Infantry Battalion on 19 Feb 1951. On 24 Nov 1958 it was redesignated for the 41st Infantry. The coat of arms was amended on 3 Aug 1964 to add a crest. On 28 Sep 1964 it was amended to change the blazon of the crest.
