They were tasked with the mission of gathering combat-related intelligence and reporting back to the Division Commander. The Company was attached to the United States Army 1st Cavalry Division and earned two Presidential Unit Citations, four Meritorious Unit Commendations, and one Valorous Unit Award. The yellow patch shows a black emblem in the center that resembles a face on a radio emitter. Along the top it reads: "LEFT-BANK" and along the bottom: "HELI-BORNE".
