USAF 9th. SOS / Night Wings / Subdued Patch
The 9th Special Operations Squadron (9 SOS) is part of the 1st Special Operations Wing (1 SOW) at Eglin Air Force Base, Florida. The squadron operates MC-130P Combat Shadow aircraft in support of special operations. The 9th SOS specializes in the use of night vision goggles and close interval formation tactics to refuel large helicopter formations. It is unique among 1 SOW squadrons in that it is physically located at Eglin AFB proper versus nearby Hurlburt Field.
Clandestine penetration of enemy territory using low-level formation procedures to provide aerial refueling of special operations helicopters and the insertion, extraction, and resupply of special operations forces by low or high altitude airdrop or airland operations, used light observation aircraft to perform Search and Rescue missions to locate and direct recovery forces finding downed airmen over enemy controlled territory.
