==Battalion Indian head patch==
During [[World War I]] the [[5th Marine Regiment (United States)|Fifth]] and [[6th Marine Regiment (United States)|Sixth]] Marines fought in France as the [[Fourth Marine Brigade]] of the US Army's [[2nd Infantry Division (United States)|2nd Infantry Division]] were forced to wear the Army's uniform. The Marines had only the eagle, globe, and anchor on their soft covers to distinguish themselves from their Army brothers-in-arms. As this did not sit well with the Marines, a patch was designed to distinguish them from their counterparts. A black shield with one five-pointed star and an Indian head with full war bonnet was selected. It is said that the black was for mourning and respect for their casualties, the shield for defense, and the star for the Second Division Commander, [[John A. Lejeune|Brigadier General John A. Lejeune]], and the Indian for General Lejeune's nickname "Old Indian." Another source says the patch was derived from a U.S. Coin in circulation at the time.
General Lejeune himself gave a somewhat different history as to the origin of the patch in his 1930 autobiography "The Reminiscences of a Marine." He states; "There was no inferiority complex about the Second Division. We knew that we were second to none, but also that we were better than any! So we adopted the star and Indian head as Division Insignia, the Indian head representing its fighting ability, and the star its spirit or espirit de corps. It was, I think, the First Division of the A.E.F. ([[American Expeditionary Force]]) to wear insignia."
"We carried the idea out, too, to its logical conclusion by providing a different background for each regiment, each Battalion, and each separate detachment."
The Sixth Marine Regiment used the same design in a diamond shape instead of a shield. The color of the background on which the star was placed shows the battalion: black, headquarters; green, supply; purple, machine-gun company; red, [[1st Battalion 6th Marines|First Battalion]]; yellow, [[2nd Battalion 6th Marines|Second Battalion]]; and blue, third battalion.

They returned from Iraq in late March 2006 having served in the [[Al Anbar Governorate|Al-Anbar province]] in the [[Al-Qa'im (town)|Al-Qaim region]], an insurgent staging area for travel south to disrupt regional stability. In October 2005, the battalion performed [[Operation Ironfist]] and successfully swept and cleared the cities of Sadah and Eastern Karabilah taking minimal casualties. They also operated as the main effort under RCT-2 alongside [[2nd Battalion 1st Marines]] during [[Operation Steel Curtain]] during which they raided, swept, and cleared the cities of [[Husaybah]] and [[Karabilah]].
Marines from the battalion also took part in [[Operation Northern Forge]] and [[Operation Murfreesboro]].
In January 2007, 3/6 deployed to the Al Anbar province at Camp Habbaniyah; operating from western Ramadi to eastern/southern Fallujah. They returned from a 7-month deployment on August 12, 2007
In April 2008, 3/6 deployed to the Al Anbar province at Camp Baharia; near Fallujah, under [[Regimental Combat Team 1]]. They returned from a 7-month deployment on October 27, 2008.
====Operation Enduring Freedom====
In January 2010, 3/6 deployed to Afghanistan in support of Operation Enduring Freedom. During this time the battalion participated in [[Operation Moshtarak]], securing and operating in the north of Marjah. They returned from this deployment in August 2010.<ref>[http://www.marines.mil/unit/iimef/2ndmeb/Pages/36arrivesinHelmandprovince;preparetointegratewithANA.aspx 3/6 arrives in Helmand province; prepare to integrate with ANA]</ref>

====Operation Inherent Resolve====
In February 2017, 3/6 deployed again on the 24th MEU. A platoon from each company deployed to Syria in support of [[Operation Inherent Resolve]] in order to clear IS militants from Ar Raqqah, Syria.
==Battalion Indian head patch==
During [[World War I]] the [[5th Marine Regiment (United States)|Fifth]] and [[6th Marine Regiment (United States)|Sixth]] Marines fought in France as the [[Fourth Marine Brigade]] of the US Army's [[2nd Infantry Division (United States)|2nd Infantry Division]] were forced to wear the Army's uniform. The Marines had only the eagle, globe, and anchor on their soft covers to distinguish themselves from their Army brothers-in-arms. As this did not sit well with the Marines, a patch was designed to distinguish them from their counterparts. A black shield with one five-pointed star and an Indian head with full war bonnet was selected. It is said that the black was for mourning and respect for their casualties, the shield for defense, and the star for the Second Division Commander, [[John A. Lejeune|Brigadier General John A. Lejeune]], and the Indian for General Lejeune's nickname "Old Indian." Another source says the patch was derived from a U.S. Coin in circulation at the time.
General Lejeune himself gave a somewhat different history as to the origin of the patch in his 1930 autobiography "The Reminiscences of a Marine." He states; "There was no inferiority complex about the Second Division. We knew that we were second to none, but also that we were better than any! So we adopted the star and Indian head as Division Insignia, the Indian head representing its fighting ability, and the star its spirit or espirit de corps. It was, I think, the First Division of the A.E.F. ([[American Expeditionary Force]]) to wear insignia."
"We carried the idea out, too, to its logical conclusion by providing a different background for each regiment, each Battalion, and each separate detachment."
The Sixth Marine Regiment used the same design in a diamond shape instead of a shield. The color of the background on which the star was placed shows the battalion: black, headquarters; green, supply; purple, machine-gun company; red, [[1st Battalion 6th Marines|First Battalion]]; yellow, [[2nd Battalion 6th Marines|Second Battalion]]; and blue, third battalion.

<h2><span class="mw-headline" id="Battalion_Indian_head_patch">Battalion Indian head patch</span></h2>
<p>During <a href="/wiki/World_War_I" title="World War I">World War I</a> the <a href="/wiki/5th_Marine_Regiment_(United_States)" class="mw-redirect" title="5th Marine Regiment (United States)">Fifth</a> and <a href="/wiki/6th_Marine_Regiment_(United_States)" class="mw-redirect" title="6th Marine Regiment (United States)">Sixth</a> Marines fought in France as the <a href="/w/index.php?title=Fourth_Marine_Brigade&action=edit&redlink=1" class="new" title="Fourth Marine Brigade (page does not exist)">Fourth Marine Brigade</a> of the US Army's <a href="/wiki/2nd_Infantry_Division_(United_States)" title="2nd Infantry Division (United States)">2nd Infantry Division</a> were forced to wear the Army's uniform. The Marines had only the eagle, globe, and anchor on their soft covers to distinguish themselves from their Army brothers-in-arms. As this did not sit well with the Marines, a patch was designed to distinguish them from their counterparts. A black shield with one five-pointed star and an Indian head with full war bonnet was selected. It is said that the black was for mourning and respect for their casualties, the shield for defense, and the star for the Second Division Commander, <a href="/wiki/John_A._Lejeune" title="John A. Lejeune">Brigadier General John A. Lejeune</a>, and the Indian for General Lejeune's nickname "Old Indian." Another source says the patch was derived from a U.S. Coin in circulation at the time.
</p><p>General Lejeune himself gave a somewhat different history as to the origin of the patch in his 1930 autobiography "The Reminiscences of a Marine." He states; "There was no inferiority complex about the Second Division. We knew that we were second to none, but also that we were better than any! So we adopted the star and Indian head as Division Insignia, the Indian head representing its fighting ability, and the star its spirit or espirit de corps. It was, I think, the First Division of the A.E.F. (<a href="/wiki/American_Expeditionary_Force" class="mw-redirect" title="American Expeditionary Force">American Expeditionary Force</a>) to wear insignia."
</p><p>"We carried the idea out, too, to its logical conclusion by providing a different background for each regiment, each Battalion, and each separate detachment."
</p><p>The Sixth Marine Regiment used the same design in a diamond shape instead of a shield. The color of the background on which the star was placed shows the battalion: black, headquarters; green, supply; purple, machine-gun company; red, <a href="/wiki/1st_Battalion_6th_Marines" class="mw-redirect" title="1st Battalion 6th Marines">First Battalion</a>; yellow, <a href="/wiki/2nd_Battalion_6th_Marines" class="mw-redirect" title="2nd Battalion 6th Marines">Second Battalion</a>; and blue, third battalion.
