Fun fact: Soldiers assigned to 2nd Battalion, 2nd Infantry were authorized to wear the 1st Marine Division combat patch since Task Force 2-2 (2-2 IN, 2/A 82nd EN, F/4th CAV, B/1-63 AR, 1/C/82nd EN, 1/A/1-6th FA) was directly assigned to the Regimental Combat Team 7 (RCT-7) during Operation Phantom Fury (Second Battle of Fallujah).
