Why are the 1st, 2nd and 3rd Battalions of the 9th Marines actually assigned to different regiments? So technically the 9th Marines is not a unit? Can someone explain this? -- Daysleeper47 ( talk) 15:28, 1 April 2008 (UTC) reply

The current insignia is slightly wrong. According to https://www.2ndmardiv.marines.mil the star just above the thumb of the hand should be noticeably inside the main right star, not almost inline with it or outside of it as depicted now.
