to sergeant. In 1994, he attended Warrant Officer Candidate School. A pilot, he is currently
assigned to160th Special Operations Aviation Regiment at Fort Campbell. Chief Warrant Officer (4) Michael
J. Hangge is the author of Penalty of Pride (Dispersive Ground).
According to the book description Penalty of Pride (Dispersive Ground),
“The powder keg of war lights when the brutal legacy of Kim Jong-il is passed to his youngest son. As the Young General
struggles to cope with his inheritance of fear, famine, disease, and death, there are powerful forces lurking in the shadows,
ready to usurp control of the failing nation. When the dead dictator’s eldest son realizes his brother has lost control
of their nation, he calls James Faulkirk to help him end his family’s vile nepocracy. James, an ex-CIA analyst haunted
by the pain of his own losses, climbs out of his soju bottles as the countdown to war nears zero. But can the unlikely duo
warn the world and rescue the Korean peninsula before it sinks into the putrid hole which has already rotted its very bedrock?”

About the 160th
Special Operations Aviation Regiment According to the United States Army, “it owes its modern night fighting aviation capabilities to the
160th Special Operations Aviation Regiment (Airborne) who pioneered night flight techniques, shared in the development of
equipment and proved that “Night Stalkers Don’t Quit,” a motto the Regiment lives by. The unit originally
formed from attachments of the 101st Airborne Division. It immediately entered into a period of intensive night flying, quickly
becoming the Army’s premier night fighting aviation force and the Army’s only Special Operations Aviation force.
Task Force 160 was officially recognized as a unit on Oct. 16, 1981, when it was designated the 160th Aviation Battalion.
Since that time, the 160th has become known as the “Night Stalkers” because of its capability to strike undetected
during the hours of darkness and its impeccable performance around the world.”
