THE 101ST AIRBORNE DIVISION (AIR ASSAULT)
2700 Indiana Ave.
Staff Duty Office
(270) 798-9793
The 101st Airborne Division was activated Aug.16, 1942, at Camp Claiborne, La. Its first commanding general, Maj. Gen. William C. Lee, noted that the division had no history, but that it had a "rendezvous with destiny," and the new division would be habitually called into action when the need was "immediate and extreme." Throughout its 69-year history, the division has amassed a proud record, in both war and peace, unmatched by any other unit.
Following its activation and initial training in the United States, the division embarked for the European theater of operations in September 1943, where it continued its training in England. During the early morning hours of June 6, 1944, the Screaming Eagles parachuted into the Contentin Peninsula, among the first Allied Soldiers to set foot into occupied France. The 101st Airborne Division, charged with clearing the way for the 4th Infantry Division's landing on Utah Beach, eventually linked the Utah and Omaha beachheads and liberated the city of Carentan. After a month of fighting, the division returned to England to prepare for future operations. On Sept.17, 1944, the division jumped into The Netherlands, spearheading Operation Market Garden and liberated the city of Eindhoven. Holding a narrow 16-mile corridor through enemy-held territory, the division fought against heavy odds for 72 days. In late November 1944, the 101st returned to France for a well-deserved rest. The rest would be a short one.
