One of four VH-60Ms, named "Gold Top", over DC. The exclusive quartet is assigned to 12th Aviation Battalion/Command Aviation Company Alpha based at Davison Army Airfield also known as Fort Belvoir (VA). The heavily upgraded UH-60Ms of the "Vipers" are used for executive transport: members of the Army's leadership, the Joint Chiefs of Staff, political leadership, dignitaries, selected officials of the US DoD and combatant commanders. The A Co is also specialized in the evacuation of those executives from the US capitol in the event of a national emergency.
