U.S. Army 160th SOAR Explained Night Stalkers Deploy in the Caribbean Sea Near Venezuela

In this exclusive DefenseWeb report from the Army Recognition editorial team, we take an in-depth look at the U.S. Army 160th Special Operations Aviation Regiment (Airborne), also known as the “Night Stalkers.” This elite U.S. Army helicopter unit has been deployed to the Caribbean since October 2025, operating near Venezuela’s maritime border.

What makes this deployment significant? The Night Stalkers are not a conventional aviation force. Their presence suggests U.S. military planners are preparing for a range of special operations missions, from cartel interdiction to potential strikes inside Venezuela in the event of escalating tensions with the Maduro regime.

We break down the structure of the 160th SOAR, its specialized helicopters (MH-47G, MH-60M, AH/MH-6), mission profiles, and what role it could play if conflict arises in the region.
