3:25th Marines

The 3rd Battalion, 25th Marine Regiment (3/25) is a reserve infantry battalion of the United States Marine Corps, headquartered in Brook Park, Ohio. Activated in 1943 during World War II, 3/25 fought valiantly in the Pacific Theater, most notably participating in the Battle of Iwo Jima. The battalion has since served in multiple conflicts, including deployments to Iraq as part of Operation Iraqi Freedom in 2005, where it sustained significant casualties during intense combat operations in Al Anbar Province. Today, 3/25 remains a vital component of the Marine Forces Reserve, ready to support national defense and crisis response missions.
