Today the 82nd Airborne Division is known as " America's Guard of Honor," a name given them by General George S. "Blood & Guts" Patton during the occupation of Berlin.
It is now the largest paratroop unit in the Free World. Lisätietoja
The division was activated on 15 August 1942 at Camp Claiborne, Louisiana. On 19 August 1942, its first commander, Major General William C. Lee, promised his new recruits that the 101st had "no history but had a rendezvous with destiny." Lisätietoja
During the Vietnam War, the 101st Airborne Division was redesignated first an airmobile division, then later as an air assault division. For historical reasons, it retains the "Airborne" tab identifier, yet does not conduct parachute operations at a division level. It is the only U.S. Army division with two aviation brigades.

They are phantoms and ghosts. Six fighting men who glide through the valley so silently but carry Hell, fire, and brimstone in their hands. When the time is right they will announce that Marine Recon is there to walk among the Philistines. May God have mercy on those people because Recon won't.
