The 1st Battalion, 150th Aviation Regiment is a General Support Aviation Battalion (GSAB) that was split between two mid-atlantic states with a total of 16 UH-60 Black Hawk helicopters. One half of the unit was the Headquarters & Headquarters Company (HHC), Alpha Company, and Charlie Company based at Trenton, New Jersey on the Trenton-Mercer Airport. The other half was Bravo Company with an HHC Detachment and a Charlie Company Detachment based at the New Castle County Airport in Delaware. The 1-150th GSAB was mobilized in May 2004 in support of Operation Iraqi Freedom and deployed to South West Asia in November 2004. The soldiers of the 1-150th GSAB served with distinction during the 12-month deployment supporting the 42nd Infantry Division Command Group Mission throughout their sector by executing Command & Control, Air Assault, and Air Movement missions. After their combat tour, they arrived back on U.S. soil in November 2005.
