Official New Mexico/ Colorado Army Guard G Co 1-168th Dustoff Patches - Golf Company, 1st Battalion, 168th General Support Aviation Battalion (GSAB), New Mexico and Colorado Army National Guard, 4-inch Embroidered Patch with Hook and Loop backing, created for the combined Dustoff OIR/OSS deployment.
When the nine-line comes in, Golf Company answers — UH-60 Black Hawk rotors turning, crew ready, and the Dustoff callsign carrying the full weight of the aeromedical evacuation mission across the Middle East.
Golf Company, 1st Battalion, 168th Aviation Regiment is a combined Army National Guard unit drawing soldiers from both New Mexico and Colorado. The company deployed as part of Task Force Phoenix, operating out of Camp Buehring, Kuwait, where it served as the primary aerial MEDEVAC asset responsible for urgent and priority evacuation missions across the task force area of operations. Flying UH-60 Black Hawk helicopters, Golf Company crews worked alongside emergency critical care nurses, flight medics, and crew chiefs to move critically ill and injured personnel to higher levels of care under the Dustoff designation. The 1-168th GSAB has supported operations including Enduring Freedom, Iraqi Freedom, New Dawn, Spartan Shield, and Inherent Resolve, building a sustained record of multi-state Guard aviation deployed in demanding CENTCOM environments. This 4-inch embroidered patch was created specifically for the combined New Mexico and Colorado Dustoff operation, making it a direct unit artifact tied to a real deployment rather than a generic aviation souvenir.
Perfect For: Army National Guard MEDEVAC veterans, Golf Company alumni, New Mexico and Colorado Guard families, UH-60 Black Hawk crew members and flight medics, Task Force Phoenix veterans, Operation Inherent Resolve and Spartan Shield collectors, shadow box and memorial display builders, Guard aviation historians, deployment keepsake collections, and anyone who wants a verified unit patch tied to the people who flew the most urgent missions of a deployment.
Dustoff heritage, stitched for the crews who answered every nine-line.
