USMC 3rd Bn 3rd Marines Patch — Embroidered Patch
The Dark Horse — 3rd Battalion, 3rd Marines
3rd Battalion, 3rd Marines — known as "Dark Horse" — is one of the most combat-tested infantry battalions in the modern Marine Corps, with a deployment record in Iraq and Afghanistan that reads like a chronology of the hardest fights of the Global War on Terror.
3/3 serves as part of the 3rd Marine Regiment and has been based at Marine Corps Base Hawaii. The battalion's WWII heritage includes the 3rd Marine Division's Pacific campaigns, but it's the battalion's modern combat record that has cemented its reputation. In 2010, 3/3 "Dark Horse" deployed to Sangin, Afghanistan — one of the most dangerous districts in Helmand Province — where the battalion suffered 25 Marines killed in action and over 200 wounded during a seven-month deployment. The battalion's courage and sacrifice in Sangin drew national attention and reinforced the Marine Corps' reputation for operating in the most contested battlespaces.
Perfect For:
3/3 Marines past and present, Sangin and Helmand Province veterans, 3rd Marines regiment personnel, Hawaii-based Marines, Gold Star families, and anyone who honors the extraordinary sacrifice of Dark Horse in Afghanistan.
Dark Horse — into the hardest fight, every time.
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.
