Badger Chapter

The Badger Chapter performs a variety of activities integral to its mission of supporting Army Aviation members and their families.  The Badger Chapter contributes to two scholarships annually.  The chapter acknowledges life changing events in a personal manner with hand written notes on Chapter stationary from one of the executive board's members and, thanks to a generous memorial contribution, has established the Matthew A. Berndt Memorial Fund as a means to support Soldiers during such life-changing events.  Proceeds from events and fundraisers are used to sustain these efforts.  Further, the chapter maintains a Soldier of the Quarter Awards program, and actively recognizes the efforts of those supporting Army Aviation through the Order of Saint Michael and Our Lady of Loreto awards.  

Supporting aviation organizations including the 1-147th Assault Helicopter Battalion, and elements of C Co. 1-168th GSAB, G Co. 2-104th AV, D Co. 1-112th AV (LUH), the 248th Aviation Support Battalion, and the 32nd Infantry Brigade Combat Teams Tactical UAS “Shadow” Platoon.
