Our History

Beginning in February 2015, Delta Company responded to the call to arms in support of Operation Red Anvil. Delta Company along with French and British forces would support the 506th Infantry Regiment with logistic, aviation and naval support, fighting RPLA forces in Podagorsk. Operating out of Air Base Anvil on Bolshevik Island in the country of Podagorsk the NATO led TF successfully eliminated the RPLA presence in the country.

In June 2015, Delta Company, apart of Task Force Sword, deployed to Chernarus in support of Operation Red Hammer. Headquartered out of Hammer Airfield, Delta Company provided full-spectrum aviation support to BSAF, TF Shield, TF Breastplate, and TF 763, covering an area of responsibility the size of Minnesota. Degrading and destroying RPLA military to reestablish the democratically elected government in Chernarus was successful in a joint effort.

During Operation Red Hammer Delta Company provided exceptional service while performing air operations in support of friendly ground forces. The unwavering dedication showed by each and every aviator earned Delta Company the Army Superior Unit Award on the 18th of October in 2015.
