Where did we come from?
The Marines of the 4th Recon Battalion have a long history of answering the call of our country. We can trace our lineage to Company D, Scout Platoon, 4th Marine Tank Battalion, 4th Marine Division during WWII. Fighting in Eniwetok, Kwajalein, Tinian, Saipan, and Iwo Jima.
During the Korean conflict, Marines and Sailors from the 4th Recon Battalion were activated out of San Antonio, TX. They joined the mobilization via troop train to Marine Corps Base Camp Pendleton, California, in July 1950.
In 2003, the 4th Recon Battalion started its cycle of deployments in support of Operation Iraqi Freedom and Operation Enduring Freedom. With different deployment types and sizes, the 4th Recon Battalion has been a stand-alone unit and/or attached to other recon battalions/force platoons for the last 20 years. Marines and Sailors of the 4th Recon Battalion have served with distinction, bringing a unique mindset to the battlefield.
