The 101st Airborne Division ("Screaming Eagles") is a specialized modular division of light infantry in the US Army trained for air assault operations. The Screaming Eagles has been referred to as "the tip of the spear" by former United States Secretary of Defense Robert Gates and the most powerful and tactically mobile of the United States Army divisions by the former Chief of Staff of the Army GEN Edward C. Meyer (ret) The 101st Airborne is capable of planning, coordinating, and executing brigades - large air assault operations capable of taking over key terrain in support of operational objectives, and capable of working in austere environments with limited or degraded infrastructure. These particular operations are conducted by highly mobile teams that cover long distances and attack enemy forces behind enemy lines. According to the author of Screaming Eagles: 101st Airborne Division, his unique mobility on the battlefield and his high level of training have kept him at the forefront of the US ground combat forces in recent conflicts. More recently, 101 Airborne has been conducting internal defense and counter-terrorism operations abroad within Iraq and Afghanistan.

The 101st Airborne Division has a history of almost a century. During World War II, he was recognized for his role in Operation Overlord (D-Day landings and airborne landings on June 6, 1944, in Normandy, France), Operation Market Garden, the liberation of the Netherlands, and his action during the Battle of The Boss around the city of Bastogne, Belgium. During the Vietnam War, the 101st Airborne Division fought in several major campaigns and battles, including the Battle of Hamburger Hill in May 1969.

At the height of the War on Terror, the 101st Airborne Division had more than 200 aircraft. The division now has just over 100 aircraft.

As of December 2017, the division had around 29,000 soldiers, compared to 35,000 soldiers just three years earlier due to budget constraints.
