USMC 3rd Marine Regiment Patch — Embroidered Patch
The Third Marines — Pacific Warriors
The 3rd Marine Regiment has carried the fight across the Pacific since World War II, building a combat legacy forged on island battlefields and sustained through decades of forward deployment in the Western Pacific.
Activated in 1942, the 3rd Marines fought as part of the 3rd Marine Division at Bougainville in November 1943 and the recapture of Guam in July 1944, where the regiment made amphibious landings against fortified Japanese positions. The regiment was held in reserve during Iwo Jima but stood ready to reinforce if needed. After the war, the 3rd Marines were stationed in the Pacific, maintaining a forward presence that continues today. Based at Marine Corps Base Hawaii at Kaneohe Bay for decades, the regiment deployed regularly to the Western Pacific under the Unit Deployment Program, training alongside allied forces throughout the Indo-Pacific region. The regiment's Marines have deployed to Iraq and Afghanistan, continuing the tradition of expeditionary warfare that defines the 3rd Marines.
Perfect For:
Marines who served with 3rd Marines, Kaneohe Bay and Hawaii-based Marines, 3rd MARDIV veterans, Pacific Theater WWII historians, Indo-Pacific security professionals, and anyone connected to the regiment's island warrior legacy.
Born in the Pacific — still standing watch there.
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.
