Description

The 128th Aviation Brigade Distinctive Unit Insignia, known colloquially as a “unit crest,” was approved 28 August 1990. “Born Under Fire,” the unit motto, is a reference the Brigade’s service as a provisional unit during Operation Just Cause, the Armed Forces Expedition that invaded Panama in order to seize Manuel Noriega and bring him to trial on narcotics trafficking charges in the United states. The blue in the upper interior of the insignia symbolizes the sky, the unit’s theater of operations; it is also the color of devotion, loyalty, and perseverance. A phoenix bird denotes birth from fire and epitomizes the unit’s motto; as the phoenix rises to be rebirthed, the Brigade was also “rebirthed” when it was reactivated in 2012 and transferred to the U.S. Army Training and Doctrine Command.

Today, the Brigade is based at Fort Rucker, Alabama and comprises three training battalions. 1st Battalion is responsible for enlisted Military Occupational Specialties (MOS) 15F, 15H, 15N 15R, and 15Y, as well as 151A for Warrant Officers (Basic and Advanced courses for AH-64D Apache Weapon System). 2nd Battalion trains MOSs 15B, 15D, 15G, 15T, and 15U, and 3rd Battalion is the entry student battalion for Soldiers whose career paths are in one of the above MOSs, teaching Army Values, Warrior Tasks, Battle Drills, Aviation Safety, and physical training.
