PI made "CRAZY CAT"
Reason for PI made patches
Unit flew one RP/SP-2E to the Philippine Islands every month for "corrosion-control" at a Naval Air Station with a full load of Company personnel or with personnel who helped them in their missions. Many of the 1st RRC's insignia was made in the PI. In 1970, this practice was modified ( by stopping all "non-essential" personnel from going on the monthly flight ) after a Pilot was caught doing a little dealing on his own ( documented in the "Oversexed" Weekly, circa Summer of 1970).

1st Army Security Agency Company (Aviation)
"CEFIRM LEADER"
  1st ASA Company(AVN), USA made, RFU, Used......inquire
Anyone know:
date unit was formed at Fort Bliss (1971, 1975, or etc.)?
what aircraft type did they fly, RU-21s or ?
date it was deActivated and assets turned-over to the 138th?
Information from a Veteran of the Unit ( March 1975 through May 1978 )
"Unit was formed in 72 as the 1St Army Security Agency Aviation Electronic Warfare Company with 9 RU-21 Queen Air FWAC.
Unit transferred from Ft Bliss main post to Biggs Army Airfield in ‘76.
Unit went TDY to Germany in ‘76 and ‘77, and Alaska in ‘77 as well.
Commanded by Maj Hale thru ‘78 when I got out. ....... Sister unit 138th ASA AVN."
( I edited-out a portion )
some History for CEFIRM Leader does not agree with the History below?
1st ASA Company(AVN) CEFIRM LEADER was formed in Ft. Bliss, TX, in 1971(1975?) and was intended to replace the RP-2E Neptune, Crazy Cats.
The unit was composed of 9 x aircraft capable of performing Radio Direction Finding(DF), Jamming, & Command and Control via a data link.
Due to problems with one of the systems the unit was not deployed and the war ended.
The system was later turned over to the 138th Aviation (Reserve) Company.
The system was deployed to Central America and subsequently to the Iraq War.

References to the TOW/COBRA Program
From this Web Site: ahttp://tri.army dot mil/LC/CS/csa/aaarmsy2.htm#TOW
"The M65 TOW/Cobra Missile System (AMCOM) began in March, 1965; the Improved Cobra Armament Program.
The XM65 TOW/Cobra system was a functional upgrade to the XM26 armament subsystem (used on the UH-1B "Huey")"
"1970, Studies leading to the development of the XM65 TOW Armament Subsystem for the AH-1 COBRA were started."
from Redstone Arsenal:
"1970, Studies leading to the development of the XM65 TOW armament subsystem for the AH-1 series COBRA helicopter were started this year." "March 1972 , The Army began the Improved COBRA Armament Program. The XM65 TOW/ COBRA development program was a functional upgrade of the XM26 TOW/ UH-1B HUEY armament subsystem. The COBRA was the first helicopter designed expressly as a weapons carrier"
some units using a TOW system in Vietnam were:
May 2, 1972 - 155th ATK HEL First Combat Aerial TOW Team, 155th ATK HEL used the XM26 TOW subsystem-combat for the first time
May 20, 1972 at Kontum - 361st Aerial Weapons Company used the XM26 TOW/HUEY Weapon System
June-July 1972 in II Corps - 2nd Combat Aerial TOW Team flew combat missions

(I have changed/rearrange his remarks so any errors are mine)
The 3rd Transportation Company (Helicopter) (later, Light Helicopter) and 509th Transportation Company (Helicopter) were transferred from Ft Bragg, North Carolina in the early-1950s to Commission Davison AAF, Fort Belvoir, Virginia.
The 509th TC(H) had been assigned to the 82nd ABN DIV at Fort Bragg; in the early-1960s the 509th TC stood-down and the assets absorded by the 3rd TC(H).
The 3rd Transportation Company (Helicopter) was Re-designated Operational Support Activity Command (OSACOM) (the "COM" was later dropped from the acronym); OSA continues to operate in the Reserve Command on Davison AAF to this date.
Originally the mission was two-fold: Presidential helicopter support with the Presidential Executive Detachment and Executive Priority Air Transport(PAT).
The Presidential Executive Detachment's mission was transferred to Marine HMX-1 Squadron, circa mid-1970s.
The PAT mission continues at Davison AAF but was divided between the OSA(Reserve Command) flying Fixed Wing Long-Haul missions and the 12th Aviation Battalion(Active Duty) flying Helicopter Support missions.
Both the 3rd & 509th TC's insignia were designed by Walt Disney(not his staff).
Both patches depict the H-21 helicopter that the Companies were flying; Dachshund with twisted ears and rotating tails.
( Anyone have more History on the 3rd )
Does anyone know if the Army ever "Officially" changed the Designator "Transportation" used by Rotary units to "Helicopter"?

Mission of the teams was to train Instructor Pilots, Standardization Instructor Pilots, and to give Transition Training to pilots who were changing aircraft. I think it was unique in Vietnam.

partial History - from a former Army Air Traffic Controller
( I have re-arranged/changed some of his verbage - any mistakes will be mine )
The 7th Army Training Center was originally Established as the Armor Training Center(ATC) for the 7th Army and gradually took over all sorts of training missions, but it never had anything to do with air traffic control.
The 7th ATC was originally stationed in the Vilseck-Grafenwoehr area. I have no idea where the aviation section was specifically located but I suspect it was at Echterdingen/Stuttgart because that's where the "7th Army Avn Tng Center" (a sub-unit of the 7th ATC) was located. The 7th ATC had a number of helicopter firing/training ranges in various parts of Germany.
The Army's Air Traffic Control Unit in Germany was Originally Designated the 16th Aviation Operating Detachment
later Redesignated 14th AATRI Company (Army Air Traffic Regulation & Identification Company)
then Redesignated 14th Aviation Company (ATC)
later Redesignated 14th Aviation Unit (ATC)
then Redesignated 59th ATC Battalion
and finally Redesignated 3rd Battalion, 58th Aviation Regiment
In the early-to-mid '60s the Army's Air Traffic Controllers were trained by the USAF at Keesler AFB in Mississippi.
In the late '60s Air Traffic Controller training for Army personnel was centralized at the Army Aviation Center, Ft. Rucker, Alabama, where it has remained to this day.
There was never any formal centralized Army air taffic control training unit in Germany.
