Official A Company 1-10 Attack Battalion Pitch Black Patch — Night Attack Aviation
A Company 1-10 Attack owns the night — Pitch Black operations where the enemy can't see what's coming.
A Company, 1st Battalion, 10th Aviation Regiment, the Attack Battalion, operates in the Pitch Black role — conducting night attack helicopter operations where darkness is the primary tactical advantage. This embroidered patch captures the Pitch Black identity of Army attack aviation at its most lethal. Army attack helicopter companies operate AH-64 Apache gunships, providing close combat attack, armed reconnaissance, and air interdiction. Night attack operations exploit the U.S. military's overwhelming advantage in night vision and targeting technology, allowing A Company crews to engage enemy forces who cannot see or fight back effectively in the dark.
Perfect For: A Company 1-10 Attack Battalion soldiers, AH-64 Apache crews, night attack aviation professionals, Army Aviation veterans, and US Army attack helicopter patch collectors.
Pitch Black — when the night belongs to the Apaches.
