2. ingenjörsbataljonens vapen. Ursprungligen tilldelat 2. ingenjörsregementet 7 juni 1924.
Symbolism: This unit dates from August 1861 when Companies “C” and “D,” Battalion of Engineers, were organized. These companies took part in the operations of the Army of the Potomac, the anchor and crossed oars being the badge of the Engineers and Pontoniers of that Army. They also participated in the Spanish War in Cuba, shown by the badge of the Fifth Corps, a five-bastioned fort, and were in the Lake Lanao Moro campaign in the Philippines. In 1901, Companies “C” and “D” were enlarged to four companies and called the Second Battalion of Engineers and in 1916, the battalion was further expanded into the 2nd Regiment of Engineers, which took part in World War I as a member of the Second Division. The regiment was decorated by the French with the fourragere for distinguished services rendered (a) during the offensive south of Soissons, July 18th and (b) during the operations of October 2-8 at Blanc Mont and Medead Farm in the Champagne. The motto is taken verbatim from the second citation of the regiment by the French during World War I for services rendered in the operations of October 2-8, 1918, at Blanc Mont and Medead Farm in the Champagne. Valspråk (motto) "Ardeur et tenacite".
41. ingenjörsbataljonens vapen. Fastställt 21 oktober 1954, hjälmprydnad tillfogad 16 januari 1986.
Shield: Red and white are the colors for the Corps of Engineers, combined with green they allude to the battalion’s service in Italy during World War II, as does the wreath taken from the Italian national emblem. The red triangular shape, used to represent a mountain, refers to the organization’s former designation of “Mountain” battalion and to the service in Apennines.
Crest (hjälmprydnad): The arms in armour in combination with the hammer and sword symbolize the unit’s World War II combat participation as “fighter” and “builder.” The mount suggests the unit’s original designation as a “mountain” battalion and also refers to the unit’s World War II campaigns in Italy’s Po Valley and North Apennines region. The colors green, white and red allude to the Italian flag and further suggest World War II campaigns.
