Officially Licensed USMC 3D Marine Brigade 1962-71 Patch — 3rd Marine Brigade 1962-1971 Embroidered Patch
3rd Marine Brigade — forward-deployed Marines in the Pacific, 1962-1971.
This patch commemorates the 3rd Marine Brigade during its activation period from 1962 to 1971, a critical decade that encompassed the escalation of the Vietnam War and the height of Cold War tensions in the Pacific. The 3rd Marine Brigade served as a versatile Marine Corps formation that could be task-organized and deployed as an independent expeditionary force.
During the 1962-1971 period, the 3rd Marine Brigade operated in the Pacific theater during one of the most consequential periods in Marine Corps history. Marine brigades serve as intermediate-sized formations between a Marine Expeditionary Unit (MEU) and a full Marine Expeditionary Force (MEF), capable of conducting sustained combat operations with their own organic air, ground, and logistics elements. The 3rd Marine Brigade's activation during this period placed it at the center of America's military commitment to the Pacific, including operations related to the Vietnam War. This patch honors the Marines who served in the brigade during a decade of intense operational activity and sacrifice.
This patch honors the 3rd Marine Brigade, 1962-1971.
Perfect For: 3rd Marine Brigade veterans (1962-1971), Vietnam War-era Marine collectors, Pacific theater Cold War historians, and Marine brigade heritage patch enthusiasts.

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.
