Equip your tactical field uniform setup or military insignia collection with this official U.S. Marine Corps 5th Marine Division Subdued Patch. Designed for low-visibility operational wear on utility and combat uniforms, this shield patch features high-density black embroidery set against a solid olive drab cloth background. The emblem displays the division's historic design: a central spearhead pointed upward enclosed within a bold Roman numeral "V", framed by an inner black stitch line. Reactivated during the Vietnam War (1966–1970) following its legendary WWII service at Iwo Jima, the 5th Marine Division utilized low-visibility subdued insignia for field service utilities and tropical combat uniforms. Enclosed by an overlocked olive green merrowed border to prevent fraying, this patch represents a crucial piece of USMC combat history. Ideal for utility jacket restorations, military shadow boxes, Vietnam War displays, veteran tributes, and militaria collections.
