Airborne Parachute
Is the 101st still an airborne (as in parachute) division?
I hear that if the soldiers in it receive any additional training, its in helicopter operations, and that the 82'nd is the only division that is truely airborne anymore.
the 101st retains the "airborne" title for historical reasons only. it is no longer an airborne division. however it is the only air assault division in the US military. relaly the only difference between an air assault division and any other light infantry division is that they have more air assets. ALL infantry these days conduct air assault operations (unlike airborne where you have to be airborne qualified to conduct airborne missions) though so it realy doesnt mean all that much.
yes the 82nd is the only airborne division left in the army, although there are 2 independant airborne brigades outside of the 82nd (the 173rd airborne and the airborne brigade from the 25th ID).
