USMC 3rd Transport Support Battalion Red Patches — USMC Embroidered Patch
Red Patchers — 3rd Transportation Support Battalion
Every round of ammunition, every gallon of fuel, every piece of gear that reached the front lines moved through the hands of transportation support Marines. This patch honors 3rd Transportation Support Battalion, the motor transport and landing support professionals who keep the logistics pipeline flowing for III Marine Expeditionary Force.
3rd Transportation Support Battalion provides throughput and distribution of supplies, personnel, and equipment, as well as medium and heavy motor transport support to III Marine Expeditionary Force. Based on Okinawa, Japan, the battalion operates as part of the 3rd Marine Logistics Group (formerly 3rd FSSG), the logistics combat element of the nation's only permanently forward-deployed Marine expeditionary force. The battalion's Marines drive the trucks, operate the landing support equipment, manage the supply distribution points, and handle the cargo that sustains the 3rd Marine Division, 1st Marine Aircraft Wing, and all supporting units across the Indo-Pacific theater. Whether supporting humanitarian assistance operations, joint exercises with allied nations, or forward deployment operations, 3rd TSB ensures that the combat power of III MEF is sustained wherever it's needed.
Perfect For: 3rd TSB veterans, motor transport Marines, 3rd MLG and former 3rd FSSG personnel, Okinawa-based logistics Marines, and anyone who knows that nothing moves without transportation support.
Red Patchers — they keep the wheels turning.
