160th Special Operations Aviation Regiment (Airborne) "Night Stalkers" The Army owes its modern night fighting aviation capabilities to the 160th Special Operations Aviation Regiment (Airborne). The Soldiers of the 160th pioneered night flight techniques, shared in the development of equipment, and proved that "Night Stalkers Don't Quit," a motto the regiment lives by. The unit originally formed from attachments of the 101st Airborne Division and upon its inception, the Soldiers immediately entered into a period of intensive night flying -- quickly becoming the Army's premier night fighting aviation force and the Army's only special operations aviation force. Task Force 160 was officially recognized as a unit on October 16, 1981, when it was designated as the 160th Aviation Battalion. Since that time, the 160th has become known as the "Night Stalkers" because of its capability to strike undetected during the hours of darkness and its impeccable performance around the world.
