Friendly Forces

Activated on May 1, 1943, the Marines of the 25th Regiment have fought in the battles of Saipan, Tinian, Kwajalein Atoll, and Iwo Jima. In the battle for Iwo Jima, the 25th was honored for the sacrifices it made in securing Airfield One, and its successes in pushing north to penetrate the Japanese defenses.

The Marines of the 3rd Battalion 25th Marines were later called to active duty to support operations conducted in Southwest Asia during Operation Desert Storm, and have played a key role in various Marine operations throughout Norway, Panama, and Honduras.

The men and women of the 3/25 were called to duty in support of security operations to ensure the stability of the new government in Iraq, and to battle insurgents threatening the security and sanctity of the nation.

8 of the 9 brave Marines killed in Operation Matador were from the 3rd Battalion, 25th Regiment. Back to top

Activated on January 18, 1941, the 3rd Battalion, 2nd Regiment first deployed during World War II, where they fought battles in Guadalcanal, Tarawa, Saipan, Tinian and Okinawa. By 1962, the unit was participating in the Cuban Missile Crisis, and eight years later, began taking part in NATO exercises.

The 3/2 deployed as part of the 4th Marine Expeditionary Brigade in support of Operation Desert Shield and Desert Storm, and later took part in Operation Restore Hope in Somalia.

In March of 2005, the authority of Camp al-Qaim was passed on to the 3rd Battalion, 2nd Marine Regiment. The 3/2 is tasked with stability and security operations surrounding the camp, adjacent to the crucial point of entry on the Syrian border utilized by a constant flow of insurgents and terrorists.

The 3/2 conducts vehicle searches and check-points, and engages in cordon-and-knock operations in search of any people, weaponry or documentation that may aid the insurgency. Back to top

Enemy Forces

There are dozens of insurgent groups carrying out attacks against coalition forces in Iraq: rebel forces consisting of regime loyalists, nationalistic groups opposed to the US presence, formerly suppressed Islamists, a variety of jihaddists groups and foreign militias. It is often difficult to separate the various factions as many are closely-aligned al Qaeda groups led by master terrorist Abu Musab al-Zarqawi, or even possibly the same group operating under various names.
