1st Light Anti-Aircraft Missile Battalion — USMC Embroidered Patch
Marine Air Defense — Missiles Up
The 1st Light Anti-Aircraft Missile Battalion provided the ground-based air defense that protected Marine forces from low-altitude air attack. This officially licensed patch represents the Marines who manned the missile launchers and stood ready to defend the MAGTF from the sky.
The 1st Light Anti-Aircraft Missile Battalion (1st LAAM) was a Marine Corps ground-based air defense unit that provided low-altitude surface-to-air missile capability in defense of the Marine Air-Ground Task Force. The battalion's Marines operated shoulder-launched and vehicle-mounted surface-to-air missile systems, providing the close-in air defense umbrella that protected critical MAGTF assets, installations, and forward combat areas from enemy aircraft and missile attack. The LAAM battalions were the predecessors of today's Low Altitude Air Defense (LAAD) battalions.
Perfect For:
1st LAAM Battalion veterans, Marine air defense specialists, LAAD Marines, and Marine Corps air defense heritage collectors.

If you want to swap patches on/off gear, choose hook & loop (velcro). If you’re attaching permanently to uniforms or fabric, choose sew-on. If you want quick application on compatible fabric, choose iron-on / heat seal (when offered). Backing options are shown on the page and update based on the variant you select.
Size is shown on the product page and updates with the variant you select (example: 3"). If you’re mounting on a hat or small panel, choose smaller sizes; for plate carriers and display boards, larger sizes fit better.
If the product is officially licensed, it will say “Officially Licensed” in the title and/or in the product details. If it doesn’t, it’s still a legitimate product—just not part of a licensed program.
Yes. If you see a note like “bulk reruns available,” that means we can support group orders or reruns. If you don’t see it, contact us with the unit/squadron and quantity and we’ll confirm options.
Yes—custom solutions are available (patches, name tags, lanyards, apparel). Use the custom request page and include artwork, size, backing preference, and quantity.
