Officially Licensed 1st Transportation Support Battalion Patch — The Backbone of Marine Logistics on the West Coast If it needs to move, the 1st Transportation Support Battalion moves it. From ship to shore and across the battlefield. The 1st Transportation Support Battalion (1st TSB) is a United States Marine Corps logistics unit responsible for providing motor transport, landing support, and distribution operations in support of the I Marine Expeditionary Force. Based at Camp Pendleton, California, under Combat Logistics Regiment 1 and the 1st Marine Logistics Group, 1st TSB is the unit that makes Marine logistics work at the tactical and operational level. The battalion operates the trucks, heavy equipment, and tactical vehicles that move everything the MAGTF needs — ammunition, fuel, food, water, construction materials, and personnel — from the beach or port of debarkation to the forward combat units that need them. 1st TSB Marines are trained in convoy operations, beach and port operations, landing support, and the full spectrum of ground transportation management that sustains a Marine Expeditionary Force in combat. The battalion has deployed in support of every major Marine Corps operation in the 21st century, including Operations Enduring Freedom and Iraqi Freedom, where convoy operations in Iraq and Afghanistan put transportation Marines on some of the most dangerous roads in the world. IED attacks, ambushes, and indirect fire made every convoy run a combat mission, and the Marines of 1st TSB proved that logistics Marines are combat Marines. Whether it's running convoys through hostile territory, offloading supplies from amphibious ships, or managing a distribution hub that keeps an entire MEF supplied, the 1st Transportation Support Battalion does the unglamorous but absolutely essential work that makes Marine operations possible. This patch represents the Marines who keep the supply lines moving. Perfect For: 1st Transportation Support Battalion Marines past and present, motor transport operators, landing support specialists, CLR-1 and 1st MLG personnel, Camp Pendleton logistics Marines, and anyone who has driven, loaded, or moved supplies for the I Marine Expeditionary Force.
