SUMMARY: The 82d Airborne Division, the “All American” Division is an active-duty, modular airborne infantry division of the United States Army. From 1917 to 2017 this highly esteemed and decorated Division has left its mark on the landscape over conflicts around the world. Humanitarian and disaster relief missions both in war and in peacetime are amongst some of the most untold stories of this time-honored division. The Division is stationed at Fort Bragg, North Carolina, one of the largest military training areas in the world. The 82d trains for airborne assault operations into enemy-denied areas, with a specialization in airfield seizure. The 82nd Airborne “All American” Division is currently under the command of the XVIII Airborne Corps, and is the nation’s Global Response Force. No other division can quite fill this critical role! Once ordered, it can mobilize, load, and land anywhere in the world in less than 36 hours to perform combat operations, assist U.S. allies, and provide humanitarian assistance.
