Officially Licensed USMC 31st MEU Leather Patch — 31st Marine Expeditionary Unit Leather Patch
Lethal, Ready, Partnered, Savage — the 31st MEU in premium leather.
The 31st Marine Expeditionary Unit (31st MEU) is the only continuously forward-deployed MEU in the United States Marine Corps, based at Camp Hansen, Okinawa, Japan, under III Marine Expeditionary Force (III MEF). The 31st MEU maintains constant readiness to respond to crises across the Indo-Pacific region, providing the combatant commander with a versatile, sea-based Marine Air-Ground Task Force capable of conducting the full range of military operations. This leather patch brings the 31st MEU's identity to life in premium materials.
The 31st MEU's Aviation Combat Element (ACE) has been built around VMM-262(REIN) and VMM-265(REIN) Flying Tigers and Dragons, with the Battalion Landing Team (BLT) providing ground combat power and Combat Logistics Battalion 31 (CLB-31) handling logistics. Operating from amphibious assault ships in the Western Pacific, the 31st MEU is America's crisis response force in the most strategically important region on Earth. The leather patch construction provides a distinguished, premium appearance that reflects the unit's elite status as the Marine Corps' forward-deployed expeditionary force.
Perfect For: 31st MEU veterans and active-duty members, III MEF and MCB Camp Butler personnel, VMM-262/265 REIN Marines, Okinawa-based Marines, leather patch collectors, and anyone who has served on the 31st MEU's forward-deployed mission in the Pacific.
Forward deployed, always ready — 31st MEU leather.
