Pugsley gets the award and sapper is suffering a senior moment.
It is now the 101st Airborne (Air Assault).
The 82nd still does jump training.
The 173rd, The 75th Rangers, and some elements of the 10th and 25th (Alaskan Brigade) are also available for jumping from perfectly good aircraft. That other group does not exist so they cannot be mentioned.

Some of the answers here are strange.
82nd Airborne division and the 101st are both part of the 18th Airborne Corps HQs at Ft Bragg.
The 82nd (All American Division) are Paratroopers, they jump out of planes.
The 101st ( Screaming Eagles) are Air assault they come in by Choppers.

one hundred and first Airborne is geared broadly speaking in the direction of helicopters (Air attack), and has a constrained parachuting skill broadly speaking interior of its recon and pathfinder forces, that's a factor of why it keeps the "Airborne" designation in its call. 82nd Airborne are the paratroopers, and make up approximately 2/3 of the army's Airborne (Paratrooper) Infantry. The 4th Battalion of the twenty 5th Infantry branch, and 173rd Airborne are additionally paratrooper gadgets. the two way, they're the two mild infantry whilst they're on the floor. To be a paratrooper, you need to be Airborne qualified, and the suitable thank you to try this's to get it on your settlement once you enlist. you do no longer straight away decide for which branch you're component of - that's subject to the desires of the army, yet being Airborne-qualified for sure places you interior the lineup for an Airborne unit. i in my opinion want helicopters because of the fact they're plenty greater sensible in modern-day wrestle operations, in spite of if there's a undeniable point of status that incorporates being Airborne qualified.
