3rd Battalion, 10th Marines Merchandise
"Seven for One" -
Camp Lejeune, North Carolina
The 3rd Battalion 10th Marines (3/10 Marines) was a highly distinguished artillery battalion that played a key role in several major military operations over the course of its existence. Originally activated in 1943 as the 5th Battalion, 10th Marines, the unit was re-designated as 3/10 in 1944 and was stationed at Marine Corps Base Camp Lejeune in North Carolina. The battalion was equipped with the M777-A2 howitzer and the M-252 Expeditionary Fire Support System, and provided direct support to the 2nd Marine Division in times of conflict.
Throughout its history, 3/10 participated in a number of major operations, including the occupation of Japan, the Lebanon Operation, the Cuban Missile Crisis, the invasion of Grenada, Operation Desert Shield and Desert Storm, Operation Provide Comfort, and Hurricane Andrew relief efforts. The unit also saw action in Operation Enduring Freedom in Afghanistan, Operation Sheltering Sky in Liberia, and several deployments in support of combat operations in Iraq and Afghanistan.
One of the key distinctions of 3/10 was its ability to perform both traditional artillery support to maneuver forces and act as provisional rifle companies. The battalion also had the secondary mission of being the primary providers of civil-military operations, playing a crucial role in establishing and maintaining relationships between military organizations, government and civilian organizations, and the civilian population.
With a proud history of serving their country and making a positive impact on the world, the 3rd Battalion 10th Marines will forever be remembered as a remarkable and highly distinguished unit.
