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.

No. The only airborne unit that served in Korea was the 187th Airborne Regimental Combat Team.

The 187th made two combat jumps in Korea. The first was at Sukchon, Korea on October 29, 1950

and the second was at Munsan-ni, Korea on March 23, 1951

The 82nd Airborne was not sent to Korea as both Presidents Truman and Eisenhower chose to keep it in strategic reserve in the event of a Soviet ground attack anywhere else in the world. They remained in Fort Bragg.

no.

My father may disagree with this answer. He was a member of the 82nd Airborne, 4th Ranger Company and served in Korea 1950-1951.

No, no airborne divisions fought in Korea. The 187th Airborne Regimental Combat Team (which was part of the 11th Airborne Division in WW2) fought as an independent unit
