Official 8112 MARSOC Patch - Marine Forces Special Operations Command MOS 8112 Riverine Assault Craft Crewman Embroidered Patch.Spiritus Invictus — the unconquerable spirit of Marine Raiders carried forward through every riverine lane, littoral approach, and maritime insertion point.MOS 8112 designates the Riverine Assault Craft Crewman, a specialized maritime billet that places Marines at the forward edge of amphibious and special operations movement. Within the MARSOC ecosystem, maritime mobility is not a secondary skill — it is a foundational capability that connects the command's expeditionary identity to its World War II Raider roots. Those original Raider battalions, first activated in 1942, conducted amphibious light infantry operations across the Pacific, including the first submarine-borne raid in special operations history. Today's Marine Raiders carry that same littoral focus under MARSOC, which was officially activated on February 24, 2006, and operates as the Marine Corps component of U.S. Special Operations Command. MARSOC's mission set spans direct action, special reconnaissance, foreign internal defense, and counterterrorism, all of which depend on the kind of precise, low-visibility maritime movement that RAC Crewmen train to execute. The 8112 MOS sits within a cluster of specialized craft billets — alongside Combat Rubber Reconnaissance Craft Coxswains and Rigid Hull Inflatable Boat operators — that give MARSOC its distinct maritime and littoral edge. An embroidered patch bearing this MOS and command identity marks a specific chapter of Marine special operations service that collectors, veterans, and supporters recognize as both technically precise and operationally meaningful.Perfect For: MARSOC veterans, MOS 8112 RAC Crewmen, Marine Raider supporters, maritime special operations collectors, Camp Lejeune and Camp Pendleton alumni, shadow box builders, challenge coin and patch panel displays, reunion gifts, and anyone preserving the story of Marine Corps riverine and littoral special operations heritage.
