18th Marine Brigade Patch – Ukrainian Naval Infantry 7×8 cm Tactical Velcro Insignia

18th Marine Brigade Patch represents a newly formed but already active and combat-tested unit of the Ukrainian Naval Infantry. Measuring 7×8 cm, the patch is made for operational use and includes Velcro backing for easy attachment to military uniforms or gear.

Produced in Ukraine from durable materials, this patch is a standard component of field identification for soldiers of the 18th Brigade, one of the Naval Infantry’s newest formations operating in the southern and eastern theaters of the war.

Historical Background – 18th Separate Marine Brigade:
The 18th Marine Brigade was established in 2023 as part of the expanded structure of the Ukrainian Naval Infantry, reflecting the increased need for amphibious and land-based assault capabilities in response to Russia’s full-scale invasion.

Though newly formed, the brigade was rapidly trained and deployed to key sectors, particularly in southern Ukraine, including Zaporizhzhia and Kherson regions. The brigade continues to reinforce Ukraine’s ability to conduct flexible operations across land and riverine environments.
