Night Stalkers : 160th Special Ops Aviation Regiment

The 160th Special Operations Aviations Regiment specializes in carrying out its life-and-death operations under the cover of darkness, hence their nickname: "Night Stalkers." They are renowned for being swift, sure, and particularly deadly with their accuracy in using state-of-the-art aircraft and equipment to assist special ops from the air. Their specialty is covert insertion, re-supply, and extraction of Special Ops teams. They also take part in armed escort, reconnaissance, surveillance, and electronic warfare in support of missions.

Fred J. Pushies has spent the last eighteen years in the company of each of the units assigned to United States Special Operations Command (SOCOM). He has skimmed across the waves with the SEALs in an eighty-two-foot-long Mark V Special Operations craft, flown at treetop level with the 160th Special Operations Aviation Regiment, and crunched through the brush with Force Recon Marines. His other Zenith Press titles include Night Stalkers: 160th Special Operations Aviation Regiment; Special Ops: America’s Elite Forces in 21st Century Combat; 10th Mountain Division; 82nd Airborne; U.S. Air Force Special Ops; Marine Force Recon; and Weapons of the Navy Seals.
