USMC 4th Force Recon 4th MARDIV Patch — Embroidered Patch
Reserve Force Recon — Citizen Warriors at the Tip of the Spear
Fourth Force Reconnaissance Company proves that reserve Marines can operate at the highest tier of ground combat capability. This patch represents the citizen warriors who maintain Force Recon qualifications while balancing civilian careers — ready to deploy alongside their active-duty counterparts at a moment's notice.
4th Force Recon serves as the deep reconnaissance company of the 4th Marine Division, Marine Forces Reserve. The company's Marines maintain the same demanding qualification standards as active-duty Force Recon — military freefall, combat diving, long-range reconnaissance patrol, and direct action — while training on weekends and during annual exercises. When the nation has called, 4th Force Recon Marines have answered, deploying to Desert Storm, Iraq, and Afghanistan where they performed alongside active component units with distinction. The company demonstrates that the reserve component's contribution to the special operations and reconnaissance community is not second-tier — it's essential.
Perfect For:
Reserve Force Recon Marines, 4th MARDIV personnel, Marine Forces Reserve members, reserve special operations community, citizen warriors who maintain elite qualifications, and anyone who respects the dual commitment of reserve service at the highest level.
Reserve by status, Force Recon by qualification — 4th Force.
