Lt. Col. Comador Ferguson III, commander of the 2-159th Attack Battalion (left), and Command Sgt. Maj. Jason Reichart, command sergeant major of the 2-159th Attack Battalion (right), uncase the 2-159th Attack Battalion colors at the re-flagging ceremony on Oct. 14 at Katterbach Army Airfield, Germany. The 12th Combat Aviation Brigade has reflagged its attack battalion from 1st Battalion, 3rd Aviation Regiment (Attack) to 2nd Battalion, 159th Aviation Regiment (Attack). The activation of the “Gunslingers” Battalion is largely a change in name-only for 12th CAB, part of the wider Army Aviation Transformation Initiative (AATI). This action returns the 1-3 Attack Battalion lineage to the 3rd Combat Aviation Brigade at Fort Stewart, Georgia, while re-activating a historic unit name for the U.S. Army’s attack presence in Europe. The 2-159th Attack Battalion will continue to provide USAREUR-AF with a ready and lethal force, postured to deter, and, if necessary, defeat aggression across the theater of operations.
