I think "Improved HAWK" refers to the Army's HAWK Air Defense missile system.

The 366th and "War Games" are both Vietnam War era,and theatre made.

 

The name badge could be associated with MAAG Taiwan

SEA War Games is Thai made. The 366th Vietnam made.

 

​Improved Hawk is fro the MIM-23 Hawk.

Hawk was originally intended to attack aircraft, especially those flying at medium and low altitudes. It entered service with the Army in this role in 1959. In 1971 it underwent a major improvement program as the Improved Hawk, or I-Hawk, which made several improvements to the missile and replaced all of the radar systems with new models. Improvements continued throughout the next twenty years, adding improved ECCM, a potential home-on-jam feature, and in 1995, a new warhead that made it capable against short-range tactical missiles. Jane's reported that the original system's single shot kill probability was 0.56; I-Hawk improved this to 0.85.^[3]

 

The ID badge is USMAAGG Taiwan, like PC stated.

Thank you gents, for all of the Information. I did find out that the Improved Hawk patch in an Army pocket patch from 1974, used by one unit out of Peden Barracks, Germany. I appreciate our opinions on the War Games & Gunfighters patches

Some info on "Nightwatch" from Wiki:

 

The Boeing E-4 Advanced Airborne Command Post, with the project name "Nightwatch", is a strategic command and control military aircraft operated by the United States Air Force (USAF). The E-4 series was specially modified from the Boeing 747-200B. The E-4 serves as a survivable mobile command post for the National Command Authority, namely the President of the United States, the Secretary of Defense, and successors. The four E-4Bs are operated by the 1st Airborne Command and Control Squadron of the 595th Command and Control Group located at Offutt Air Force Base, near Omaha, Nebraska. An E-4B is denoted a "National Airborne Operations Center" when in action.
