Discounting the Green Beret (Special Forces) the US Army deployed one brigade from the 82nd Abn Division and the 173rd Abn Brigade to South Vietnam. The 101st may or may not have been an Abn Division when it arrived in country, but by 1970 it certainly was an Airmobile Div (helicopter borne infantry) and not an Abn one.

A brigade was two or more battalions and a straight leg grunt battalion (which was a paratrooper outfit) had anywhere from 600 to 900 men assigned to it. Therefore a leg brigade of two battalions could equate to roughly 2,000 men.

Note: Leg=Grunt/Infantryman (Vietnam War only). "Straight Leg Grunt" was a non-mechanized infantryman. Mech men rode M113 APC/ACAVs.
