Attention all Marines and Marine Corps patch enthusiasts! Check out this fine example of the current logo patch for Third Marine Regiment! These can't be found just anywhere! Not, of course, allowed on the uniform, but worn on all manner of off-duty civilian caps and clothing as novelty items.
Third Marines has a rich and colorful history since its activation in 1916. They were known as 3rd Provisional Regiment and participated in campaigns in Mexico and Dominican Republic. The regiment earned distinguished battle streamers from WWII (Bouganville, Guam) as well as Viet Nam (48 major operations from 1965 to1969.) In Operation Desert Storm 3rd Marines served with 1st Marine Division as Regimental Combat Team 3 – better known as Task Force Taro! Third Marines home is Marine Corps Base Hawaii. They report to 3rd MarDiv and III MEF.
Recent Decades: Of course, Marines of 3rd Regiment made history once again in both Operation Iraqi Freedom and Operation Enduring Freedom! Marines from 3rd Regiment have continued to serve with honor – from Fallujah, Iraq to the Helmand Province of Afghanistan!
