| Milites Gregarius | Post; Irish Special forces mottoThe Unit motto is taken from an old Fianna poem and continues the link with which the name is associated. It is written in the Irish language (As galige) Glaine ár gcroí Neart ár ngéag Agus beart de réir ár mbriathar (in english) The cleanliness of our hearts The strength of our limbs And our commitment to our promise  |

| Milites Gregarius | well i know a few non offical mottos.... i think the most colourfull one ive heard is from the 2nd infantry battalion who's nicknames are the "vikings" "rape,pillage and burn" it comes from irish history when the vikings came to these shores and did just that! |

| Centurion | You know there is an explanation as to why it is Rape, Pillage, and Burn in that order. I forgot what it was but i will ask my friend, he once told me why you have to proceed in that order.
