A Co. 2-159 Attack Battalion Sailor Jerry Style Patch - Alpha Company, 2nd Battalion, 159th Aviation Regiment (Attack), 12th Combat Aviation Brigade, AH-64 Apache Embroidered Patch rendered in American traditional tattoo art style.
Gunslingers grit, Apache lethality, and old-school flash art energy stitched into one hard-hitting unit patch.
The 2nd Battalion, 159th Aviation Regiment traces its lineage to 1968 and has long served as a lethal attack aviation force in the European theater, operating under the 12th Combat Aviation Brigade at Katterbach Army Airfield, Germany. Redesignated in October 2025 as part of the Army Aviation Transformation Initiative, the battalion flies and fights the AH-64E Apache with a mission focused on near-peer deterrence and hard-hitting attack aviation in support of U.S. Army Europe and Africa. Alpha Company sits at the tip of that spear, putting crews and aircraft directly into the fight when the brigade needs precision lethality and aggressive forward presence. The Sailor Jerry style design wraps that combat identity in the bold black outlines and vivid, limited-palette imagery that Norman Collins made famous tattooing thousands of service members during World War II. That American traditional flash art aesthetic has always carried a military edge, and applied to an Apache attack unit patch it gives the design a raw, unapologetic character that standard embroidered insignia rarely achieves. The result is a piece that reads as both a unit identifier and a nod to the long tradition of military ink culture.
Perfect For: Army aviation veterans, AH-64 Apache crew members and maintainers, Alpha Company alumni, 2-159 Attack Battalion Gunslingers, 12th Combat Aviation Brigade collectors, Katterbach and USAREUR-AF veterans, tattoo art and military patch enthusiasts, shadow box builders, challenge coin and patch panel displays, deployment keepsakes, and anyone who wants a unit-history piece that blends attack aviation identity with classic American traditional art style.
Gunslingers heritage, Apache lethality, and Sailor Jerry flash — one patch, no apologies.
