Official A Co. 1-158th Rebels Patch - Alpha Company, 1st Battalion, 158th Aviation Regiment (Rebels) U.S. Army Reserve UH-60 Black Hawk Embroidered Patch.
Rebels attitude, Ghost Riders lineage, and Army Reserve assault aviation identity stitched into one company-level patch.
Alpha Company carries the Rebels callsign within the 1st Battalion, 158th Aviation Regiment, the Ghost Riders, a U.S. Army Reserve assault helicopter battalion headquartered at Conroe, Texas, and aligned under the 244th Aviation Brigade. The battalion traces its lineage to Company A, 158th Aviation Battalion, constituted on 25 July 1968 at Fort Carson, Colorado, as an element of the 101st Airborne Division when the division was transitioning from a parachute unit to a helicopter-transported airmobile force already operating in Vietnam. That founding identity shaped everything that followed. The 1st Battalion earned two Presidential Unit Citations for actions at Dong Ap Bia Mountain and along the Ho Chi Minh Trail, along with Valorous Unit Awards for Thua Thien Province in 1969 and 1970. Today the battalion flies UH-60 Black Hawks in the assault helicopter role, and the regiment carries the motto Challenge, reflected in a coat of arms featuring a winged sword and lightning flash. An Alpha Company Rebels patch connects that deep regimental story to the specific crew, company, and callsign identity that makes unit-level Army aviation patches worth collecting and displaying.
Perfect For: Army Reserve aviation veterans, UH-60 Black Hawk crew members and maintainers, Alpha Company Rebels alumni, 1-158th Ghost Riders soldiers past and present, 244th Aviation Brigade collectors, deployment keepsakes, challenge coin and patch boards, shadow boxes, reunion gifts, and anyone building a unit-history collection around Army Reserve assault aviation heritage. It also suits family members and supporters who want a specific company-level tribute that goes beyond generic Army aviation memorabilia and honors the people who keep the Rebels mission ready.
Rebels callsign, Ghost Riders lineage, earned one flight hour at a time.
