USMC 1st Bn 5th Marines Geronimo Patch — Embroidered Patch
Geronimo — 1st Battalion, 5th Marines
1/5 carries the call sign "Geronimo" and the legacy of the most decorated regiment in the Marine Corps. This patch represents the first battalion of the 5th Marines — the regiment that earned its reputation at Belleau Wood and has been adding to it ever since.
1st Battalion, 5th Marines is based at Camp Pendleton as part of the 5th Marine Regiment, 1st Marine Division. The battalion inherits a combat lineage that begins with World War I and spans every major American conflict. In Korea, the 5th Marines fought at Inchon and the Chosin Reservoir. In Vietnam, the regiment conducted dozens of named operations across I Corps. In 2003, 1/5 was part of the 1st Marine Division's advance to Baghdad during Operation Iraqi Freedom, and the battalion deployed multiple times to Al Anbar province and Afghanistan. The "Geronimo" callsign reflects the battalion's warrior ethos — aggressive, fearless, and relentless in the attack.
Perfect For:
1/5 Marines past and present, 5th Marines regiment personnel, 1st MARDIV veterans, Camp Pendleton Marines, Iraq and Afghanistan veterans, and anyone who answers to Geronimo.
Geronimo — first battalion of the most decorated regiment.
