USMC 2nd Battalion 3rd Marines Patch — Embroidered Patch
2nd Battalion, 3rd Marines — Island Warriors
2/3 carries the 3rd Marine Regiment's Pacific warrior legacy into every deployment, maintaining the expeditionary mindset that has defined Marine operations in the Western Pacific since World War II.
2nd Battalion, 3rd Marines has served as part of the 3rd Marine Regiment, deploying throughout the Pacific and to combat zones in the Middle East. The battalion's WWII heritage includes the 3rd Marine Division's campaigns at Bougainville, Guam, and Iwo Jima. In the modern era, 2/3 has deployed to Iraq and Afghanistan, conducting full-spectrum operations from conventional combat to counterinsurgency. Based in Hawaii, the battalion trains for the unique challenges of Pacific operations — island seizure, maritime interdiction, and distributed operations across vast oceanic distances. The battalion's Marines are prepared for the future fight in the Indo-Pacific, where the ability to operate from austere island environments will be essential.
Perfect For:
2/3 Marines past and present, Hawaii-based Marines, 3rd Marines regiment personnel, 3rd MARDIV veterans, Pacific-focused Marines, and Indo-Pacific security professionals.
