Badges of the United States Marine Corps

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Badges of the United States Marine Corps are military decorations which are issued by the United States Department of the Navy to service members of the U.S. Marines to denote a variety of qualifications and accomplishments. The Marine Corps issues the fewest number of badges of all the United States armed forces and most badges used by the Marine Corps are also issued as U.S. Navy badges. There are certain badges, however, which are specific only to the Marines and not issued by any other branch of service.

The following are the current badges issued by the 21st century United States Marine Corps.
