Official USAF 17th Attack Squadron Bulls Patch — The Horns That Never Stop Hunting

If it moves on the battlefield and it shouldn't, the Bulls will find it.

The 17th Attack Squadron — the 'Bulls' — is one of the United States Air Force's premier MQ-9 Reaper remotely piloted aircraft units, stationed at Creech Air Force Base, Nevada. Originally activated during World War II, the squadron has carried its mission through decades of evolution — from conventional fighter operations to the cutting edge of modern persistent attack and reconnaissance. Today's Bulls fly the MQ-9 Reaper on around-the-clock combat missions in support of joint and coalition forces worldwide, delivering precision strikes and unblinking intelligence, surveillance, and reconnaissance to ground commanders who depend on eyes in the sky that never blink. The 17th ATKS operates under the 432d Wing, the Air Force's only wing dedicated entirely to remotely piloted aircraft operations, making Creech AFB the epicenter of the RPA enterprise. The Bulls' crews — pilots and sensor operators — execute the kill chain from takeoff to weapon release, often spending hours tracking a single target before the call comes. This squadron patch carries the iconic Bulls insignia and represents the quiet, relentless professionalism of airmen who fight America's wars from the desert floor of Nevada, one orbit at a time.
