Officially Licensed USMC 3D Radio Battalion Patch - 3d Radio Battalion, III MEF Information Group, USMC Signals Intelligence and Electronic Warfare Embroidered Patch.
Ghost Walkers of the electromagnetic spectrum, operating where the enemy cannot hide and silence is the sharpest weapon.
3d Radio Battalion traces its lineage to the 3d Radio Intelligence Platoon, formed in June 1943 and tested in combat at Kwajalein Atoll and Okinawa. Formally established in 1958 and headquartered at Marine Corps Base Hawaii, Kaneohe Bay, the battalion has served through the Vietnam War, Operation Desert Storm, the 2003 invasion of Iraq, and multiple deployments to Afghanistan during the Global War on Terrorism. Today the battalion operates as a subordinate unit of the III Marine Expeditionary Force Information Group, providing signals intelligence collection, electronic warfare, and information operations support to III MEF and the broader Indo-Pacific theater. Collection teams intercept, analyze, and exploit adversary communications using ground-mobile systems, while Radio Reconnaissance Teams extend that reach into advance force and special operations environments. The battalion also supports the 31st Marine Expeditionary Unit with dedicated SIGINT platoons, giving the unit a continuous forward presence across the Pacific. That combination of deep lineage, technical precision, and Indo-Pacific focus makes the 3d Radio Battalion patch a meaningful piece for anyone who understands what it costs to own the electromagnetic spectrum before the first round is ever fired.
Perfect For: 3d Radio Battalion veterans and active Marines, SIGINT and electronic warfare operators, III MEF and III MIG intelligence personnel, 31st MEU alumni, Marine Corps Base Hawaii service members, USMC intelligence community collectors, shadow box and display board builders, reunion gifts, family keepsakes, and anyone assembling a serious unit-history collection around Marine Corps signals intelligence and Indo-Pacific operational heritage.
Ghost Walker lineage, stitched for the collectors and veterans who know the mission behind the silence.
