Officially Licensed USMC 2nd Bn 7th Marines 2D Marine Logistics Patch — 2nd Battalion 7th Marines / 2nd Marine Logistics Group Embroidered Patch
The fighting partnership of 2/7 and 2d MLG — ground combat and logistics working as one to keep the Marine Air-Ground Task Force in the fight.
This patch represents the operational partnership between 2nd Battalion, 7th Marines (2/7) and the 2nd Marine Logistics Group (2d MLG), commemorating their combined operations in support of the Fleet Marine Force (FMF). 2/7 is an infantry battalion assigned to the 7th Marine Regiment, 1st Marine Division, based at Marine Corps Base Camp Pendleton, California. 2d MLG provides combat logistics support to the II Marine Expeditionary Force (II MEF) from Marine Corps Base Camp Lejeune, North Carolina.
The relationship between infantry battalions and logistics units is the lifeblood of Marine Corps operations. While 2/7's Marines close with and destroy the enemy through fire and maneuver, 2d MLG's Marines ensure that the fighting battalions have the ammunition, fuel, food, water, medical support, and equipment maintenance they need to sustain combat operations. Without logistics, the infantry runs out of bullets; without the infantry, logistics has nothing to support. This patch celebrates that symbiotic relationship.
2nd Battalion, 7th Marines has a distinguished combat history dating back to World War II, including service at Guadalcanal, Cape Gloucester, Peleliu, and in Korea, Vietnam, Iraq, and Afghanistan. The combination of 2/7's combat legacy with 2d MLG's fleet support capability represents the full spectrum of Marine Corps expeditionary warfare.
Perfect For: 2/7 Marines and veterans, 2d MLG personnel, Fleet Marine Force logistics specialists, 7th Marine Regiment members, 1st Marine Division veterans, and Marine Corps combined-unit patch collectors.
2/7 and 2d MLG — the infantry and the logistics working together, because Marines fight and Marines sustain the fight.
