2nd Light Armored Recon Battalion 2nd Marines (USMC) Color Changing Coffee Mug – Design

This dynamic color-changing mug brings the spirit and precision of the 2nd Light Armored Reconnaissance Battalion (2nd LAR), 2nd Marine Division, to life. When cold, the mug presents a stealthy and evocative design, concealing the full power beneath. The central design element is a stylized representation of the LAV-25, the 2nd LAR’s primary armored vehicle, rendered in crisp detail and ready for action. The LAV-25 is positioned as if in motion, symbolizing the unit’s core tenet: mobility and speed in reconnaissance and information gathering.

The design incorporates the iconic 2nd LAR emblem, prominently displayed to showcase unit pride. The backdrop showcases a silhouette of the American flag to honor the service members’ commitment to duty and the nation. The color scheme when cold is designed for a sense of stealth, anticipation, and readiness.

As the mug is filled with a hot beverage, the design transforms, revealing more of the image and the true heart of the 2nd LAR. The color shifts expose hidden details and a battle scene, with colors that showcase the power and pride of the unit, along with a motto, “Semper Fi” representing the unwavering loyalty and dedication of the Marines. This change represents the unveiling of information and the activation of power, mirroring the unit’s mission to provide critical intelligence to the Marine Division. The color transformation symbolizes the unit’s capacity to adapt and overcome any challenge, making this mug a fitting tribute to the 2nd LAR.
