Currently the US Army has ten divisions. 1st Armored, 1st Cavalry, 1st, 2nd, 3rd and 4th Infantry, 10th Mountain, 25th Infantry and the 82nd and 101st Airborne. And there are five independent brigades.
No, the 101st Airborne Division was not called up to Korea during the conflict, however elements of the 101st were grouped with elements from other divisions to form special units like LRRPs (Long Range Recon Patrols) etc.
how many divisions are in a corps
The Marines dont have an airborne infantry. Only the Army.
450,000 10 Infantry Divisions,1 Airborne Division and 3 Marine Divisions
Six Infantry and three airborne divisions took part in D-Day.
The only whole Airborne division is the 82nd. Although 101st still bears the Airborne tab above their unit insignia, they are not an airborne unit.
With the dropping of 101st and 82nd airborne divisions paratroopers
The 82nd entered the war first and then split into the two divisions the 101st and 82nd. The 82nd has been around much longer than the 101st
With the dropping of 101st and 82nd airborne divisions paratroopers
The nickname of the US Army's 101st Airborne division is "Screaming Eagles."
The 82nd Airborne Division is the only actual US Airborne division in service. The 101st retains their Airborne tab, but the only parachute unit in the 101st now is the LRS-D. There is also the 173rd Airborne Brigade, stationed in Vincenza, Italy.

my guess would be "Big Red 1" and the 82nd
WWII validated the "Airborne" divisions (paratroopers) Vietnam validated the "Airmobile" divisions (helicopters); Ia Drang battle in '65.
11,000 aircraft and over 7,000 ships were involved. It took over 1,000 aircraft just to transport the Airborne and Glider Divisions.
