Officially Licensed USMC 5th Battalion 11th Marines The Spirit of Saint Barbara Sticker — Patron Saint of Artillery, Guardian of the Cannoneers
Saint Barbara watches over those who rain steel from the sky.
5th Battalion, 11th Marine Regiment is an artillery battalion within the 11th Marines, the artillery regiment of the 1st Marine Division at Camp Pendleton, California. The battalion provides fire support to Marine infantry through the employment of the M777A2 155mm lightweight towed howitzer and the High Mobility Artillery Rocket System (HIMARS), delivering devastating indirect fire at ranges that keep the enemy guessing and the grunts advancing. Saint Barbara is the patron saint of artillerymen — a tradition that dates back centuries and is honored across all branches and nations. The "Spirit of Saint Barbara" represents the sacred bond between the cannoneers and their mission: to deliver accurate, timely, and lethal fire support to Marines in contact. Every artillery Marine knows that when the call for fire comes in, lives depend on the speed and precision of the gun line.
Perfect For: 5th Battalion 11th Marines artillerymen and veterans, 11th Marine Regiment alumni, 1st Marine Division fire support community, M777 and HIMARS crews, FO and FDC Marines, and anyone who knows that "shot out" means salvation is inbound.
5/11 Marines — the Spirit of Saint Barbara lives in every round downrange.
