Unit Information

The 8th Marine Regiment consists of one headquarters company and four infantry battalions (1/8, 2/8, 3/8 and 1/9). The infantry battalions are the basic tactical units that the regiment uses to accomplish its mission of locating, closing with and destroying the enemy by fire and close combat.

While the 8th Marines are deployed, they become Regimental Combat Team 8 (RCT-8) and are augmented by components of multiple infantry, tanks, tracks, and artillery units.
