Officially Licensed USMC 2nd LAR Bn 2nd MARDIV Victory to the Bold Patch — 2nd Light Armored Reconnaissance Battalion, 2nd Marine Division Embroidered Patch
Victory to the Bold — 2nd LAR Battalion leads the way.
The 2nd Light Armored Reconnaissance Battalion (2nd LAR) is a ground combat element of the 2nd Marine Division, providing the division with its eyes and ears on the battlefield through high-speed armored reconnaissance. With the motto "Victory to the Bold," 2nd LAR Marines embody the aggressive, forward-leaning spirit that defines the reconnaissance mission.
2nd LAR operates the LAV-25 Light Armored Vehicle and its variants, giving the battalion the speed, firepower, and protection to conduct screening operations, route reconnaissance, and security missions far ahead of the main body. LAR Marines are trained to find the enemy, develop the situation, and either destroy the threat or report back so the division can maneuver decisively. The battalion's Fleet Marine Force heritage connects it to the amphibious expeditionary tradition of the Marine Corps, while the "Victory to the Bold" motto emphasizes that in reconnaissance warfare, hesitation is fatal — only the bold survive. 2nd LAR has deployed to Iraq, Afghanistan, and other theaters, proving that their aggressive reconnaissance tactics deliver results.
This patch honors 2nd LAR's bold reconnaissance mission.
Perfect For: 2nd LAR Battalion Marines, light armored reconnaissance professionals, 2nd Marine Division members, and USMC ground combat unit patch collectors.
