FORT CAMPBELL, Ky. (USASOC News Service, Oct. 21, 2011) -Generations of Night Stalkers, Families and friends recently gathered to celebrate 30 years of Army special operations aviation.

On Oct. 16, 1981, the Department of Defense officially recognized a unit dedicated to providing helicopter support to the nation’s special operations forces. That small formation has evolved into today’s 160th Special Operations Aviation Regiment.

I was talking about the title of this thread! Night stalking? lol it isn't good as a verb.

yeah I thought it was funny the way they phrased it as well, but saw an opportunity to crack a joke!

Our battalion in Korea was simply "Stalkers," with none of the panache of a SOF unit to go with it.

You hear it around Regiment occasionally. Not common, but ingrained enough that I didn't even notice it in the title.

An example: a former Regiment Commander once had a captive audience of some senior ranking unit members and was tearing them a new asshole for... well, doesn't matter what for.

Near the end of his epicly painful tirade, he said (and I paraphrase) "Night Stalking has nothing to do with black helicopters. It's about leadership and accountability."

Which is why I use the Internet.
