Of the four infantry companies I served in, my favorite was “Si Dubitas Fode” which translates to “If in doubt, dig” . That patch is on the top right, and the insignia includes two rifles crossed with a spade.
The regimental motto was “Pro Rege et Grege” which means “For King and People”  . The regimental crest is in the center, and is incorporated in most of the unit patches.

https://www.AR15.Com/media/mediaFiles/1715/units-185873.jpg There would also be a LOT of foxhole digging. Every time the company was out in the field overnight, each platoon would create a circular area, with foxholes (and 3-foot deep bivouacs) for each buddy pair on the perimeter facing out. I don’t know if the US infantry does this as well. So yeah, the individual light infantry soldier would do a LOT of digging. People took an almost perverse pride in it. |

I've always liked the 17th Lancers motto and crest combo
Also like "J'osé" (Fr for "I Dare") and "Yo Solo" (Sp for "I Alone"). And of course, the unofficial "Semper Gumby" and "Semper Fucked"

Quote HistoryQuoted: Infantry battalions would practice quite a bit of fighting from fixed positions (against the expected WaPa armored hordes), so the infantry company training (at least in my regiment) included digging full fighting positions ... trench networks, underground bunkers, covered positions for the heavy weapons, etc. at least once or twice a year.

very nice guys! my favourite is "divisione folgore. legione d'anime a presidio del deserto". it means "folgore division, legion of souls defending the desert" it is written on a lapid at the italian cemetry at el Alamein and it is dedicated to the sacrifice of italian folgore division, wich was the last axis unit fighting at el alamein, out of 5000, only 300 survived.

I started out in the Corps of Engineers, and our regiment's motto is "Viam inveniam aut faciam" which means "I will find a road or build one".
My current post is in the Life Grenadiers, whose motto is "Si vis pacem para bellum" which I'm sure you know the meaning of. When I was in a recon unit we informally used "Videre non Videri", which means "To see without being seen". |

great classic citations from Roman history:
