No, it was not
The 101st Airborne Division was organized as a paratrooper division during WW2. It included paratrooper and glider-borne troops that were used in the D-Day invasion. Later it was sent to re-inforce Bastogne during the Battle of the Bulge. The 101st Airborne Division became an Air Assault(helicopter) division during the Viet Nam War and continues to function in that capacity to this day.
He served at Fort Benning, but the 101st Airborne was never stationed there.
No. The 101st Airborne is no longer an airborne division. It's has been the 101st Airborne (Air Assault) Division since Vietnam (I think). They wear the black berets. I was in 1st Brigade. -Keith

Rendezvous With Destiny. History Of The 101St Airborne Division was written by Leonard Rapport and Arthur Northwood, Jr. It was published in 2001.
Many US Army divisions have nicknames. The US Army's 101st Airborne division (which is the division trained for air assault operations) is nicknamed 'The Screaming Eagles'.
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
