The 101st Airborne Division is a U.S. Armed force light infantry division prepared for strategic air activities and assaults. The 101st was famous for its job in Operation Overlord (the D-Day arrivals and airborne arrivals on June 6, 1944, in Normandy, France).

In mid-1965, the first Brigade and bolster troops were sent to the Republic of Vietnam, trailed by the remainder of the division in late 1967. The 101st was conveyed in the northern I Corps area working against the Vietnam People’s Army (NVA) invasion courses through Laos and the A Shau Valley.

The the division’s usual insertion changed from planes as the essential strategy for inserting troops, to the utilization of helicopters.

Though the 101st still wears the airborne tab they are now actually considered Air Assault
