 ===Origin/meaning===
-The Crest is that for Regiments and Separate Battalions of the Alabama Army National Guard.
+The shield is white, the old Infantry color. The thirteen blue stars symbolize the unit's thirteen battle campaigns in the War Between the States, while blue is the present color used for Infantry. The 167th Infantry was the former 4th Alabama Infantry, which served in the 42d (Rainbow) Division as the 167th Infantry, the five fleurs-de-lis indicating the five major operations in which the Regiment took part in World War I. The red cross embattled commemorates the carrying of entrenched Croix Rouge Farm below Fere en Tardenois in the Soisson Offensive on 26-27 July 1918.
+The Coat of Arms was approved on 3 August 1923. It was amended to add thirteen stars to the shield on 16 February 1971.
