Golf Company is one of the battalion's core rifle companies, and its Weapons Platoon is the organic fire support element that extends the company's combat power through M240 machine guns, 60mm mortars, and assault weapons. The battalion's lineage stretches back to 1922 and includes combat deployments across Iraq, Afghanistan, and multiple Marine Expeditionary Unit rotations. The battalion fought in Fallujah during Operation Vigilant Resolve, conducted operations in Helmand Province during Operation Enduring Freedom, and has served as a ground combat element for both the 11th and 31st MEUs. A Weapons Platoon patch from Golf Company marks the specific Marines who carry the crew-served systems, set the gun lines, and deliver the fires that let the rifle platoons close with and destroy the enemy. That precision of identity is what separates a unit-specific piece like this from a generic infantry patch and gives it lasting value in any serious Marine Corps collection.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003ePerfect For: Golf Company veterans, 2\/1 Marines and Sailors, Weapons Platoon gunners and mortarmen, Camp Pendleton infantry alumni, 1st Marine Division collectors, MEU deployment keepsakes, shadow boxes, challenge coin and patch boards, reunion displays, and family members who want a specific tribute to the Marines who carried the heavy weapons and kept the company's fires on target through every training cycle and combat deployment.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eGolf Company steel, stitched for the Marines who put rounds on target when it counted most.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Military, Law Enforcement and Custom Patches by USMCinsignia.com","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45264379281517,"sku":null,"price":12.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0742\/9831\/files\/4Patch_20_21152f79-8d4e-435c-a917-c25f8238d684.png?v=1780334586","url":"https:\/\/marinepatches.com\/products\/official-g-co-2-1-weapons-platoon-patch","provider":"MarinePatches.com","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
