Are Army soldiers allowed to wear USMC combat patches?

If you were in the USMC and served in Combat, got out and enlisted in USArmy, ck with your MILPO and they will confirm (DA4187) and you can wear your Marine patch, that you cannot wear in the USMC. If you are in USArmy attached to Marine Corp in combat, you wear your Army patch you served with unless there has been an exception to policy, once agin ck with your MILPO, they will confirm or deny.

There a rare few who can, were you one of the ones who supported the Marines during the Japanese invasion of the Philippines, one of the Field Artillery personnel in Beirut when the barracks were bombed, were you part of the force that was attached tot he Marines during the FIRST 30 days of the Invasion of Iraq. Next Question, in the previously mention actions were you a Marine? If so, the ANSWER is NO!!!!! If you were a soldier, maybe/yes. it would depend on all the criteria laid out in 670-1. The key word for the devil dummies, if you were a Marine. Stop do not pass go, do not fix that patch on your right sleeve. Doesn't matter what unit you were with , you can't wear it on our Uniform, if you were a Marine at that time. For those who were with Marines after the initial 30 days of the Iraq invasion, the answer is no, and it doesn't matter what Marine told you that you could, as that person has jack diddly squat authority to countermand our regs. And for the Airforce people, just say no and walk away. Years ago in an Army Reg they broke down very simply the Army is the only service that wears a unit patch (Shoulder Sleeve Insignia for you technical types).

They can per AR, but since the USMC doesn't wear them, they shouldn't. Just damn common sense!

660tc is authorized to wear a 1st MEF combat patch because we (an army unit) hauled their fuel in Iraq

You can wear anything until your caught or told to remove... many in the 1970's National Guard wore them... Vietnam Veterans. Most Commands just ignored it.. happy to have the bodies.

Marines can't wear them, but if you join the Army after you leave the Marines, you can. Never made any damn sense!

We had the same , 5/7 cab 3id 3rd bsb, and we shared an out post with Marines the second expeditionary task force we had a special design patch for it we were in ramadi and Fallujah or we just simply wore our 3rd ID patch

I served in a unit that had a former USMC veteran who served in Vietnam. He wore the 3rd Marine patch as a Combat patch.

Not sure if I’m reading the question properly. Had a career counselor helping me try to re-enlist in 2009 (stupid high cholesterol) who was career Army wearing the 1st Marine Division patch. Seems in 2003 his unit was attached to the 1st Marine Division before and during the drive to Baghdad. After things quieted down the proper Army & Marine officials got together and authorized his unit to wear the 1st Marine patch as their SSI.

In effect no. As an Army soldier attached to a Marine command or working close with Marines in combat, that is a different story and different paperwork.
