The Echo Raiders — "E" Company, 2nd Bn, 1st Marines, 1st Marine Division — were a Vietnam era U.S. Marine Corps rifle company, part of the United States' Fleet Marine Force Pacific deployed to Vietnam in August 1965. The Raiders went toe-to-toe with both the Viet Cong and the North Vietnamese Army.

At the begining of Vietnam , "E" 2/1 picked up the "Raiders" moniker after undergoing special training to conduct raids on the coastline of Vietnam.    See
