Above is the RAID team emblem. It is the symbol of the team and it is worn on the left shoulder of every team member. There are several significant features of the patch that are explained below.
Color Scheme: The color scheme is Olive drab on a coyote brown backing. The reason for this is that the patch is designed to be worn on both our green-based Woodland uniform and our tan-based Multicam uniform.

RAID: RAID stands for Rapid Assault Infantry Division. "Rapid Assault" describes our play style and "infantry" designates our player type. We strike fast and on foot.
"Carpe Victoriam": The RAID motto. It translates to "Seize victory" in latin and sums up what RAID's goal is when they are in action.
Crossed Tomahawks: In original variants of the design, the emblem bore crossed KA-BAR knives, but this was changed over a unanimous decision that Tomahawks looked more unique. This signifies the close combat RAID specializes in.
Shield: A shield-style emblem was chosen because it showed that RAID is here to fight. Also, in ancient Roman phalanxes, the shield was held with the left arm, and RAID wears the shield on the left shoulder as a sort of throwback to them.
