USMC 2nd MARDIV Eyes of the Division Patch — Embroidered Patch
The Division's Forward Eyes
Every Marine division depends on those who see the enemy first — the scouts, the reconnaissance Marines, the intelligence operators who push forward of the main body to find, fix, and report. This patch represents the "Eyes of the Division" within the 2nd Marine Division, the Marines who go where others can't yet follow.
The 2nd Marine Division, headquartered at Camp Lejeune, has relied on its reconnaissance and surveillance capabilities since World War II. Whether it was scouts probing Japanese defenses on Tarawa and Saipan, recon Marines infiltrating ahead of the division in Vietnam-era exercises, or intelligence operatives mapping enemy positions in Iraq's Al Anbar province, the Eyes of the Division have always been the first to make contact and the last to break it. This tradition of forward presence and aggressive intelligence gathering has been central to the 2nd MARDIV's ability to fight and win across every clime and place.
Perfect For:
Reconnaissance Marines who served with 2nd MARDIV, intelligence and surveillance specialists, 2nd Recon Battalion veterans, Camp Lejeune Marines, scout sniper community members, and anyone who knows that the fight is won before the first shot by those who see first.
They see the enemy before the enemy sees them.
