Ah, what a lovely question! The 101st Airborne Division and the 82nd Airborne Division are both elite units in the U.S. Army. The main difference is that the 101st is based at Fort Campbell, Kentucky, while the 82nd is based at Fort Bragg, North Carolina. Both units are filled with brave individuals who work together to protect and serve our country with honor and courage.
The 101st Airborne Division is typically organized into several companies within its various battalions. Each battalion generally has four to six companies, depending on the specific structure and mission. The division usually comprises three infantry regiments and various support units, leading to a total of around 30 companies, but this can vary based on operational needs and reorganizations.
The 101st jumped with only their personal weapons and equipment.
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
Where did you see that he was a paratrooper in the 101st. Everything I have read lists him as being a mechanic in WWII which is certainly possible.
The 173rd Abn Bde and possibly the 82nd Abn Div reportedly made a combat jump in Vietnam. The 101st Abn was redesignated an Airmobile Division in Vietnam, however the unit patches tab still retained it's AIRBORNE designation, and stationary reflected the title, "101st Airborne (Airmobile) Division."

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
