 The 18th Airborne Corps was reactivated at Fort Bragg, North Carolina in 1951 to be the nation's Swiss Army Knife. It was organized to provide the nation a unique set of tools that could be quickly accessed if the need arose. In the seven decades that followed, the 18th Airborne Corps and its subordinate commands have been instrumental to the success of our nation. The Corps developed a technology and skill set to deploy the tools of war by airdrop, eliminating the need for gliders in the Korean War. It has been on the leading edge of Army technology ever since. The 101st Airborne Division initiated the Air Assault mission in Vietnam, which is integral to infantry tactics today. The 22nd Airborne Division is at first to deploy to the world's hotspots, whether for combat, humanitarian crisis, both national and international, or to implement national policy and quell unrest. The 10th Mountain Division's skills were utilized in Afghanistan's Hindu-Kush mountain range in our response to 9-11. The 3rd Infantry Division led the March the Bagdad. The Corps' separate brigades supported all these missions and took on many of their own. Every day, 18th Airborne Corps soldiers heed the call to defend and protect our nation in ways only they may know. Airborne
