Those of us who joined the 101st Airborne Division at Ft Campbell are very proud to have carried on the airborne traditions started in WWII.
In Vietnam the "Screaming Eagle" transformed from an elite unit of paratroopers to a battle harden unit of airmobile solders. The transformation included several name changes.
On July 1, 1968, the division was redesignated the 101st Air Cavalry Division a name change that lasted 11 weeks and became an airmobile division, losing its airborne status. Those of us from Fort Campbell continued to collect jump pay.
It finally becoming known as the 101st Airborne Division (Airmobile).
