 101st Airborne Flag Size: 3'x5' most popular size The 101st Airborne Division (Air Assault)—nicknamed the “Screaming Eagles”—is an airborne division of the United States Army primarily trained for air assault operations. During the Vietnam War, the 101st was redesignated an airmobile division, and later as an air assault division. For historical reasons, it keeps the identifier “airborne”, but does not conduct parachute operations at a division level. Many modern members of the 101st are graduates of the U.S. Army Air Assault School, and wear the Air Assault Badge, but it is not a prerequisite to be assigned to the division. The division is headquartered at Fort Campbell, Kentucky and has served in Iraq and Afghanistan. It is the only division in the U.S. Army that has two aviation brigades. Active: August 15, 1942–November 30, 1945 Allegiance: Federal Branch: Regular Army Type: Division Role: Air Assault Infantry Part of XVIII Airborne Corps Garrison/HQ:Fort Campbell Nickname:“Screaming Eagles” Motto: “Rendezvous With Destiny” Mascot: Bald Eagle a.k.a.
