Mission Brief
Air Assault! — the modern Screaming Eagles in the fight.
The modern 101st Airborne Division (Air Assault) is the only air assault division in the world, having transitioned from parachute operations to helicopter-borne air assault tactics following the Vietnam War. Based at Fort Campbell, Kentucky, the division became one of the most heavily deployed U.S. Army formations after 9/11, with Screaming Eagles serving repeatedly in Iraq and Afghanistan over more than two decades of sustained combat.
101st Airborne soldiers in the modern era operate with the full suite of contemporary U.S. Army equipment — MultiCam operational camouflage, advanced ballistic helmets with night vision capability, and the M4A1 carbine platform. In Afghanistan and Iraq, the division conducted air assault operations, counter-IED missions, and complex combined arms operations that demanded individual skill and initiative at the squad level.
For modern military collectors and U.S. Army enthusiasts aged 12 and up.
