3rd Light Anti-Aircraft — USMC Embroidered Patch
3rd LAAD — West Coast Ground Air Defense
The 3rd LAAD stands ready at Camp Pendleton, armed with Stinger missiles and modern air defense systems, protecting the MAGTF from the ever-evolving low-altitude air threat. This officially licensed patch represents the Marines who kill the enemy before they can reach their targets.
3rd Low Altitude Air Defense Battalion provides close-in, low-altitude surface-to-air weapons fires in defense of forward combat areas, vital areas, and installations for the 3rd Marine Aircraft Wing. Activated on 22 January 1987 from the 3rd FAAD Battery, the battalion has deployed in support of every major Marine operation since Desert Storm. 3rd LAAD Marines operate Stinger missile teams that deploy with Marine Expeditionary Units, infantry battalions, and aviation units, providing the close-in air defense that protects the MAGTF from low-flying aircraft and cruise missiles.
Perfect For:
3rd LAAD veterans and active duty Marines, Stinger gunners, MACG-38 air defense Marines, and Marine ground-based air defense collectors.
3rd LAAD — Low and Lethal.
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.
