Official US Army 1-1 Aviation Battalion Bastard Co Patch — 1st Battalion, 1st Aviation Regiment Bravo Company "Bastard Co" Embroidered Patch
Bastard Co — 1-1 Aviation's Bravo Company.
This US Army 1st Battalion, 1st Aviation Regiment Bravo Company "Bastard Co" patch represents one of the Army's aviation units with a callsign that captures the tough, no-nonsense identity of Army aviation operators. "Bastard Company" is an unofficial callsign that reflects the unit's warrior ethos and the dark humor that pervades military aviation culture.
1st Battalion, 1st Aviation Regiment is a US Army aviation unit that operates rotary-wing aircraft in support of ground combat operations. Bravo Company's "Bastard Co" identity adds a rebellious edge to the serious business of Army aviation — these are the pilots and crew who fly into the fight, providing air assault, medical evacuation, reconnaissance, and attack support to Army ground forces. The "Bastard" callsign has a long tradition in military units, typically adopted by companies or detachments that pride themselves on being tough, independent, and willing to do the dirty work that other units won't. This patch captures that identity with unapologetic pride.
This patch represents 1-1 Aviation's Bastard Company.
Perfect For: 1-1 Aviation Battalion Bravo Company members, Army aviation professionals, helicopter unit morale patch collectors, and Army aviation enthusiasts.
