About

irborne forces of the US Army have often demonstrated their ability to conduct decisive, short notice, forced entry operations deep into enemy territory. They seize and maintain the initiative until follow-on forces are committed to the fight and then move to hit the enemy where he is the most vulnerable. The ability to rapidly deploy, land, and sustain a powerful ground combat force is vital to US interests and worldwide commitments. From their origins early in World War II, the US Army's airborne forces have dramatically demonstrated their responsiveness and flexibility many times on DZs and battlefields all over the world.
