USMC 4th Tank Battalion Commemorative Retirement Challenge Coin

Description

Officially Licensed USMC 4th Tank Bn Retirement Coin — 53 Days and a Legacy of Armor

After decades of armored service, 4th Tank Battalion stood down — but the legacy of Marine tankers lives on in this coin.

4th Tank Battalion served as the Marine Corps Reserve’s armored combat element within the 4th Marine Division, providing tank support to the Fleet Marine Force when mobilized. This retirement coin commemorates the deactivation of 4th Tank Battalion as part of the Marine Corps’ Force Design 2030 initiative, which saw the service divest its tank capability entirely. The “53 Days” reference connects to the battalion’s proud deployment history. 4th Tank’s deactivation marked the end of an era for Marine armor — closing the book on a capability that had served the Corps from World War II through the Global War on Terror.

Perfect For: 4th Tank Battalion veterans, Marine tankers, 4th MARDIV alumni, Force Design 2030 observers, and Marine Corps transition-era collectors.

The last Marine tankers — gone but never forgotten.
