The emblem of the Brigade features the head of a horse and a tank. Above this picture, the motto “DIE FOR YOUR COUNTRY” is written. It is a saying by Periandros, governor of Corinth, one of the seven wise men of antiquity, which declares that the “the greatest indication of love to your country is to offer your own life”, as it reflects the ideal of the ancient world, that a soldier must fight and die for his country’s integrity. The emblem symbolizes STRENGTH, IMPETUS, FLEXIBILITY, SPEED and AGGRESSIVENESS, which are the main characteristics of the Brigade Units, whereas the green outline is evocative of the distinctive colour of the Armour. 

The XXV Armoured Brigade is the spearhead of the D’ Army Corps whereas its personnel, equipped with morale, optimism and discipline, is trained to apply modern tactics in the battle and to have faith in the fulfillment of its mission.
