History of Third Battalion Fourth Marine Regiment

Описание: The history of Third Battalion, Fourth Marines (3/4) is one of valor, sacrifice, and an unbreakable fighting spirit. Activated in 1925, 3/4 has fought in some of the most significant battles in American history—from World War II’s Battle of Corregidor to the brutal combat of Vietnam’s Mutter’s Ridge, and later, the Global War on Terror in Iraq and Afghanistan.

This video takes you through the battalion’s journey, highlighting their key battles, legendary leadership, and the evolution of their identity, including the origins of the Darkside callsign. With firsthand accounts from Colonel B.P. McCoy, who led 3/4 during the invasion of Iraq in 2003, we gain insight into the battalion’s unwavering commitment to the Marine Corps’ legacy of excellence.

In 2023, the Darkside logo was redesigned, paying tribute to the unit’s Raider roots and enduring warrior ethos. While the nature of warfare evolves, the courage, discipline, and fighting spirit of Third Battalion, Fourth Marines remain unchanged.

Semper Fidelis, Darkside.
