What is the best infantry division in the us army I always thought the 101st airborne was the best but others say it's the 82nd airborne or 1st infantry division?
The 101st? Maybe before they were transformed into a leg division. They're not Airborne anymore - they wear the tab only for historical significance. But in all seriousness, my biased-but-for-good-reason opinion - 82nd, plain and simple. You don't get to 82nd based on "needs of the Army" - people go there because they WANT to go there. That being said, best doesn't necessarily mean best for any situation. Mech divisions have their niche which a light division won't fulfill, and vice versa. The Bradley IFV packs a pretty impressive amount of firepower. And the 101st is supposed to be capable of moving their entire division by helicopter - which is also a pretty impressive feat. B
