The 101st Airborne Division, also known as the Screaming Eagle, is a paratrooper assault unit of the United States Army. During World War II, it served as an airborne force in the European Theater of Operations, participating in the Battle of Normandy, Operation Market-Garden, and the Siege of Bastogne.

During the Vietnam War, the 101st was transformed into an airmobile division and then into an air assault division, but for historical reasons it still retains the name of airborne. It then participated in the first and second Gulf War and in theaters of war such as Iraq and Afghanistan, where it still operates today. It currently has its headquarters in Fort Campbell, Kentucky. It is one of the most prestigious and decorated units of the US Army, and the only division with two aviation brigades. Their symbol is also the ace of cards, each suit representing one of the 4 regiments.
