Just a reminder that tomorrow is the big day for all Marines and patriots who support the Marine Corps.

Here's to the old Corps and to the new Corps.

SEMPER FI!

Oorah, Marines! I attended the 200th Anniversary Marine Ball when I was an Air Force brat in Caracas, Venezuela. Seems like only yesterday...

Glad to hear they’re not in Iraq anymore.

The movie “Full Metal Jacket” was based on experiences of people in Hotel Company, 2/5.

I was in Charlie 1/5 in 1967-1968.

Good unit to begin his tour!

Welcome to the website for 2nd Battalion, 5th Marines — the most decorated Battalion in the Marine Corps. On behalf of all the Marines, Sailors, and their families, it’s a privilege to have you aboard. We are located at Camp San Mateo aboard Marine Corps Base Camp Pendleton in San Diego County, and are part of the I Marine Expeditionary Force, 1st Marine Division, 5th Marine Regiment. At times, particularly during deployment periods, several other attachment commands and units call 2/5 home.

2/5 takes great pride in being a part of America’s 9-1-1 Force, ready to deploy anywhere in the world with little or no warning, to fight and win upon arrival. To accomplish our mission, we are dedicated to readiness, selfless service, and family preparedness.

Hopefully, this website will serve as a helpful resource, not only for information about 2/5, but also for points of contact and family readiness. Please feel free to browse and enjoy the site. Keep in mind we are constantly updating this site to bring you the latest information regarding our mission, our personnel, and our accomplishments. Your presence is welcome here and we trust you will enjoy your visit.

RETREAT HELL!
