2nd Battalion 2nd Marines

The 2nd Battalion, 2nd Marines (2/2), known as “Warlords,” was activated in July 1925 at Marine Corps Base Quantico, Virginia. The battalion has a distinguished combat history, fighting in World War II campaigns such as Tarawa, Saipan, and Tinian. During the Gulf War, 2/2 participated in Operation Desert Storm, and later supported operations in Iraq and Afghanistan as part of the Global War on Terror. Today, 2/2 continues to serve as a vital infantry battalion within the 2nd Marine Division, ready for rapid deployment and expeditionary missions worldwide.
