164TH AVIATION GROUP — Distinctive unit insignia
Distinctive unit insignia

Authorised 16 August 1968

A gold color metal and enamel device 1 1/8 inches (2.86 cm) in height overall consisting of a gold equilateral triangle containing two concentric red triangles and surmounted by a silver swooping hawk with wings displayed all in front of a blue disk enclosed by a tri-folded scroll inscribed in blue letters "HERE AM I - SEND ME."

The triangular shape symbolizes the Mekong Delta where the Group was activated and conducted its operations. The concentric triangles refer to the unit's growth in its primary mission to give support. Red and yellow are colors used by the Republic of Vietnam while the swooping silver hawk refers to the combat air power of the unit. The color blue is used by Aviation units; it also alludes to the ultimate goal of peaceful blue skies.

The distinctive unit insignia was approved on 16 August 1968.
