The FireWolf Association hopes to preserve the community that has been forged in the Red Wolf and Firehawk squadrons. This organization will serve as a central location, separate from social media, for alumni to re-connect, keep up-to-date and advocate for the active duty community. 

Perhaps the most important reason for its existence is advocacy. Our community has faced a number of administrative challenges over its nearly half-century history spanning the Vietnam war to present-day. Both squadrons were order to decommission due to budget cuts in 2015. Because of a dedicated alumni, HSC-85 was retained and is once again operationally capable. The FireWolf Association seeks to continue the effort to reestablish and institutionalize the the Naval SOF-support rotary wing capability by advocating for a dedicated-support model.
