1st Maintenance Battalion Warfighters Patch — Embroidered Patch
Warfighters — 1st Maintenance Battalion
When equipment breaks down in a combat zone, there's no calling a mechanic and waiting three days. 1st Maintenance Battalion fixes it now, under fire if necessary, because if the gear doesn't work, Marines don't fight. This patch honors the maintainers who keep the 1st Marine Division's weapons, vehicles, and equipment in the fight.
1st Maintenance Battalion provides intermediate-level maintenance support for I Marine Expeditionary Force, covering tactical communications and electronics, engineer equipment, general support equipment, motor transport, and ordnance. Based at Camp Pendleton, California, the battalion falls under the 1st Marine Logistics Group (formerly 1st FSSG) and deploys with I MEF wherever it goes. The battalion's Marines and Sailors have provided critical maintenance support in every major conflict since the unit's establishment, including Operations Desert Shield and Desert Storm, Operation Iraqi Freedom, and Operation Enduring Freedom in Afghanistan. From rebuilding engines in the desert to repairing communications equipment in the mountains of Helmand Province, 1st Maintenance Battalion ensures that the tools of war remain operational.
Perfect For: 1st Maintenance Battalion veterans, Marine maintainers and mechanics, 1st MLG and I MEF support personnel, and anyone who respects the wrench-turners who keep the fight going.
