USMC Recon — USMC Embroidered Patch
Swift, Silent, Deadly
Marine Reconnaissance — the eyes and ears of the MAGTF. Before the main body moves, Recon Marines have already been there, gathering the intelligence that shapes the battle plan. This officially licensed patch represents one of the Marine Corps' most elite and revered communities.
Marine Reconnaissance units — both Battalion Reconnaissance (BN Recon) and Force Reconnaissance (Force Recon) — have served as the Marine Corps' premier intelligence gathering and special operations capable forces since World War II. Recon Marines conduct amphibious reconnaissance, deep reconnaissance, surveillance, battlespace shaping, and direct action operations behind enemy lines. Earning the right to wear the Recon insignia requires surviving one of the most grueling selection and training pipelines in the military, including Basic Reconnaissance Course, combatant diver school, and military freefall parachute training.
Perfect For:
Marine Reconnaissance veterans and active duty Marines, Force Recon operators, BN Recon Marines, special operations enthusiasts, and elite military unit collectors.
Swift, Silent, Deadly.
