Officially Licensed US Navy HAL-4 Red Wolves Patch — Carrying the Seawolves' Torch The Red Wolves of HAL-4 carried the Seawolves' helicopter attack legacy forward into the Reserve force. Helicopter Attack (Light) Squadron 4 (HAL-4), the Red Wolves, was a U.S. Navy Reserve helicopter attack squadron that preserved the combat helicopter gunship capability pioneered by HAL-3 Seawolves in Vietnam. Operating UH-1 Hueys, the Red Wolves maintained armed helicopter attack proficiency for Naval Special Warfare support and riverine operations. HAL-4 ensured that the unique tactics, techniques, and procedures developed during Vietnam's brutal helicopter gunship combat were not lost, passing them to a new generation of Navy Reserve aviators ready to deploy when called. This embroidered patch honors the Red Wolves' role as keepers of the Seawolf flame. Perfect For: HAL-4 Red Wolves veterans, Navy Reserve helicopter attack crews, UH-1 Huey gunship aviators, Seawolves legacy enthusiasts, and Navy heritage embroidered patch collectors. Red Wolves — the Seawolves' Reserve heirs.
