הדיוויזיה המוטסת ה-101 - הנשרים הצורחים ("101st Airborne Division - "The Screaming Eagles)‏‏[1] היא דיוויזית חיל רגלים של צבא ארה"ב המתמחה בפריסה מהאוויר(בצניחה, הסקה או הטסה), והיא ידועה ביכולתה לפרוס בכל מקום בעולם ובפרק זמן קצר. במהלך מלחמת העולם השנייה, ההתפרסמה היחידה בשל פעולתיה במהלך הפלישה לנורמנדי וכן בשל גבורת חייליה במהלך הקרב על הבליטה. לאורך השנים השתתפה היחידה בקרבות רבים, החל ממלחמת וייטנאם דרך מלחמת המפרץ הראשונה ועד למלחמה באפגניסטן ומלחמת המפרץ השנייה, וכוחות שלה אף שימשו כמשקיפים מטעם האו"ם בחצי האי סיני בשנות ה-80 של המאה ה-20. המוטו של הדיווזיה הוא "מפגש עם הגורל" ("Rendezvous With Destiny"), והיא נחשבת לדיוויזיה המעוטרת ביותר בצבא ארה"ב. מפקדת היחידה מוצבת ב"פורט קמבל", בקנטקי.

היסטוריה עריכה

מלחמת העולם השנייה עריכה

 
הגנרל דוויט אייזהאואר משוחח עם חייל גדוד 502 של הדיוויזיה, בערב ה-5 ביוני, 1944 - ערב הפלישה לנורמנדי
 
חיילי הדיוויזיה ה-101 אוחזים בדגל נאצי שתפסו, יומיים לאחר הנחיתות בנורמנדי

הדיוויזיה הוקמה ב-15 באוגוסט 1942, המחנה קלייבורן בלואיזיאנה, וכמפקדה הראשון התמנה הגנרל וויליאם ס. לי, אשר הבטיח למגוייסיו החדשים כי ל-101 אין אומנם היסטוריה, אבל "יש לה פגישה עם הגורל".


ביום ה-6 ביוני, 1944, ערב הפלישה לנורמנדי היו חיילי הדיוויזיה בין החיילים הראשונים‏‏[2] של בעלות הברית שנחתו על אדמת צרפת, הכבושה, במסגרת צניחת הלילה שקדמה לנחיתות על החופים.

ב-25 באוגוסט, 1944, השתתפה הדיוויזיה במבצע מרקט גארדן ("גן שוק"), כחלק מהקורפוס המוטס ה-17, במסגרת הארמיה המוטסת הראשונה.

במהלך הקרב על הבליטה, בצל מתקפת הפתע הגרמנית, הייתה הדיוויזיה ה-101 אחת מהכוחות היחידים שנותרו בעתודה. כוחות הדיוויזיה הוחשו לחזית, ונערכו להגן על אזור העיירה באסטון, אשר היוותה צומת דרכים חיונית. מפקד הדיוויזיה, הגנרל מקסוול טיילור, שהה באותה עת בארה"ב, והפיקוד על הדיוויזיה הוטל על בריגדיר-גנרל אנתוני מקאוליף. הדיוויזיה כותרה על ידי כוח גרמני עדיף, אך כאשר דרש במפקד הגרמני את כניעתם של החיילים האמריקאים, ענה הגנרל מקאוליף את תשובתו המפורסמת - "למפקד הגרמני: שטויות! - המפקד האמריקאי". חיילי הדיוויזיה הדפו התקפות גרמניות חוזרות ונשנות, תוך שהם סובלים ממחסור בתחמושת, מזון, ציוד רפואי וביגוד חורף, במשך כשבוע, עד הבקעת הקווים הגרמניים והדיפתם על ידי הדיוויזיה המשוריינת הרביעית, ב-26 בדצמבר. על פעולותיו במהלך המצור, הועיק הגנרל פטון לגנרל מקאוליף את "צלב השירות המצויין".

ב-1 באוגוסט, 1945, לאחר שחייליה הגיע ל"קן הנשרים" - מעונו הפרטי של היטלר, נשלחה הדיוויזיה לצרפת, והחלה להתאם לקראת הפלישה ליפן. שבועיים מאוחר יותר נכנעה יפן, ואימוני הדיוויזיה לפלישה אפשרית הופסקו. ביום 30 בנובמבר, 1945, פורקה הדיוויזיה המוטסת ה-101, וחייליה נשלחו בחזרה לארצות הברית.

על פעולותיה במלחמה, הוענקו לדיוויזיה ארבעה אותות מערכה ושני ציוני שבח יחידתיים נשיאותיים. במהלך הקרבות איבדה הדיוויזיה 1,766 מלוחמיה. 6,388 מלוחמי הדיוויזיה נפצעו במהלך הקרבות, 324 מתוכם מתו בעקבות הפציעות שספגו.

סדר הכוחות של הדיוויזיה במלחמה עריכה

סדר הכוחות של הדיוויזיה במהלך המלחמה כלל את הכוחות הבאים‏‏[3]:

  • ארבעה רג'ימנטים רגליים - 501, 502, 401 ו-327
  • ארבע גדודי תותחי שדה - 321, 463, 907 ו-377
  • גדוד נ"מ - 81
  • גדוד הנדסה - 326
  • כוחות עזר נוספים הכוללים כוחות רפואה, לוגיסטיקה, מודיעין, סיור ומשטרה צבאית.

עיטור הקסדה עריכה

הדיוויזיה ה-101 מתאפיינת בעיטורי קסדה יחודיים. חיילי הדיוויזיה נהגו לסמן את קסדותיהם בחליפות קלפים (יהלומים, תלתנים, לבבות ועלים) בכדי לסמן את שיוכם היחידתי. עיטורים אלה נראו לראשונה במהלך מלחמת העולם השנייה, ומשמשים את חיילי הדיוויזיה מאז ועד ימינו אנו.

עיטורי הקסדות לפי יחידות הדיוויזיה (כפי שהיו במלחמת העולם השנייה):

  • רג'ימנט 327 - תלתן (♣)
  • רג'ימנט 501 - יהלום (♦)
  • רג'ימנט 501 - לב (♥)
  • רג'ימנט 501 - עלה (♠)

הקמה מחדש עריכה

עם תום מלחמת העולם השנייה, פורקה הדיוויזיה המוטסת ה-101 ונגרעה מסדר הכוחות של הצבא האמריקני. לאורך השנים הבאות הוקמה הדיוויזיה אחת לכמה שנים כיחידת אימונים, וזאת למשך זמן קצוב אשר לאחריו שבה ופורקה. מפקדת הדיוויזיה נדדה עם כל הקמה מחדש - ראשית למחנה "ברקנרידג'" בקנטקי (1948 ו-1950), ובהמשך ל"פורט ג'אקסון" בקרוליינה הדרומית (1954). במרץ 1956 הועברה מפקדת הדיוויזיה פעם נוספת, הפעם ל"פורט קמפבל" בקנטקי, הפעם לקראת הקמת הדיוויזיה מחדש כיחידה לוחמת. במסגרת ארגון מחדש של מבנה הדיוויזיה, שונה סדר הכוחות ואת מבנה ארבעת הרג'ימנט הרגליים, ששימש את הדיוויזיה במלחמת העולם השנייה, החליף מבנה הכולל חמישה צוותי קרב חטיבתיים, שש סוללות ארטילריה וכוחות סיוע.
צוותי הקרב החטיבתיים התבססו באופן ישיר על שורשי הרג'ימנטים מימי מלחמת העולם השנייה -

  • חטיבה 1 - רג'ימנט 327.
  • חטיבה 2 - רג'ימנט 501.
  • חטיבה 3 - רג'ימנט 502.
  • חטיבה 4 - רג'ימנט 506.
  • חטיבה 5 - התבססה על רג'ימנט 187 - רג'ימנט זה היה חלק מהדיוויזיה המוטסת ה-11 במהלך מלחמת העולם השנייה.

ארגון הדיוויזיה מחדש והליך הקמתה הושלמו באפריל, 1957, ומבנה זה נשמר בעיקרו עד ימינו.

בחודש ספטמבר 1957, בעקבות החלטת בית המשפט העליון לבטל את ההפרדה בבתי הספר בארה"ב, התפתח בליטל רוק, ארקנסו, מה שלימים נודע כמשבר ליטל רוק. המון זועם, מלווה בחיילי המשמר הלאומי של ארקנסו, מנעו בכוח את שילובם של תשעה בני נוער שחורים בבית ספר תיכון "לבן". בשיאו של המשבר החליט הנשיא אייזנהאואר להתערב, וביום ה-24 בספטמבר, 1957, הורה לדיוויזיה המוטסת ה-101 לשלוח את חייליה לעיירה ליטל רוק. במשך כחודשים, עד לסוף חודש נובמבר, ליוו חיילי הדיוויזיה את נערים, מדי יום, אל בית הספר וחזרה, כשהם חמושים וערוכים לקרב.

מלחמת וייטנאם עריכה

In the mid-1960s, the 1st Brigade and support troops were deployed to the Republic of Vietnam, followed by the rest of the division in late 1967. Two of the included battalions were the Screaming Eagles and the Red Elite Squadron. The Screaming Eagles disbanded after their leader, J. M. MacCarthy, was dropped in via CH-47 Chinook helicopter, and was counterattacked by a M-60 tank. A day after the attack he went MIA. In almost seven years of combat in Vietnam, elements of the 101st participated in 15 campaigns. Notable among these were the Battle of Hamburger Hill in 1969 and Firebase Ripcord in 1970. The 101st was deployed in the northern I Corps region operating against the Vietnam People's Army (NVA) infiltration routes through Laos and the A Shau Valley. Elements of the division supported the ARVN Operation Lam Son 719, the invasion of southern Laos, in 1971, but only aviation units actually entered Laos. In the seven years that all or part of the division served in Vietnam it suffered 4,011 Killed in Action and 18,259 Wounded in Action.

It has been said that most North Vietnamese had never seen a bald eagle, so they called the 101st soldiers "Chicken Men" or "Rooster Men." Viet Cong commanders would regularly include in their briefings that they were to avoid confrontation with the "Chicken Men" at all costs, as they were sure to lose. Supposedly this remained a source of fierce pride among veterans who served in Vietnam under the 101st.[4]

Such claims must be balanced against the reality of combat losses. Casualties for the 101st in Viet Nam were twice those suffered in World War II, and its total number of Killed in Action (4,022) was the third highest of all U.S. Army ground units, behind the 1st Cavalry Division (5,464) and the 25th Infantry Division (4,561). Had the entire division arrived in 1965, as did the 1st Cav and 25th, its total casualties would have undoubtedly been even higher.

In 1968, the 101st took on the structure and equipment of an airmobile division. Following its return from Vietnam, the division was rebuilt with one brigade (3d) and supporting elements on jump status, using the assets of what had been the 173rd Airborne Brigade. The remaining two brigades and supporting units were organized as airmobile. With the exception of certain specialized units, such as the pathfinders and parachute riggers, in early 1974 the Army terminated jump status for the division. Concurrently the 101st introduced the Airmobile Badge (renamed later that year as the Air Assault Badge), the design of which was based on the Glider Badge of World War II. Initially the badge was only authorized for wear while assigned to the division, but in 1978 the Army authorized it for service-wide wear. Soldiers continued to wear the garrison cap with glider patch, bloused boots, and the cloth wing oval behind their wings, as had division paratroopers before them. A blue beret was authorised for the division in the early 1970s.[5]The division also was authorized to wear a full color (white eagle) shoulder patch insignia instead of the subdued green eagle shoulder patch that was worn as a combat patch by soldiers who fought with the 101st in Vietnam, a distinction shared with the 1st and 5th Infantry divisions.

Tragedy struck the division on 12 December 1985. A civilian aircraft, Arrow Air Flight 1285, chartered to transport some of the division from peacekeeping duty with the Multinational Force Observers on the Sinai Peninsula to Kentucky, crashed near Gander, Newfoundland. All eight air crew members and 248 US servicemen died, most were from the 3d Battalion, 502d Infantry. The crash was the worst in Canadian aviation history. President Ronald Reagan and his wife Nancy travelled to Fort Campbell to comfort grieving family members. On 8 March 1988, two U.S. Army helicopters collided in Fort Campbell, Kentucky, killing 17 servicemen.

The division has supported humanitarian relief efforts in Rwanda and Somalia, then later supplied peacekeepers to Haiti and Bosnia.

Montana forest fires עריכה

In August and September 2000, the 3d Battalion, 327th Infantry Regiment, 101st Airborne Division (Air Assault) from Fort Campbell, Kentucky, helped fight fires on the Bitterroot National Forest in Montana. Designated Task Force Battle Force and commanded by Lieutenant Colonel Jon S. Lehr, the battalion fought fires on the Valley Complex near Darby, Montana.[6]

Operation Enduring Freedom עריכה

The 101st Airborne Division (Air Assault) was the first conventional unit to deploy in support of the American War on Terrorism.[7] The 2d Brigade, "Strike", built around the 502d Infantry, was largely deployed to Kosovo on peacekeeping operations, with some elements of 3rd Battalion, 502nd, deploying after 9/11 as a security element in the U.S. CENTCOM AOR with the Fort Campbell-based 5th Special Forces Group. The Division quickly deployed its 3rd Brigade, the 187th Infantry's Rakkasans, as the first conventional unit to fight as part of Operation Enduring Freedom.תבנית:Fact After an intense period of combat in rugged Shoh-I-Khot Mountains of eastern Afghanistan during Operation Anaconda with elements of the 10th Mountain Division, the Rakkasans redeployed to Fort Campbell only to find the 101st awaiting another deployment order. In 2008, the 101st 4th BCT Red and White "Curraahee" including the 1st and the 2nd Battalions, 506th Infantry "Band of Brothers" were deployed to Afghanistan.

Operation Iraqi Freedom עריכה

In 2003, Major General David H. Petraeus ("Eagle 6") led the Screaming Eagles to war during the 2003 invasion of Iraq (Operation Iraqi Freedom). General Petraeus led the division into Iraq saying, "Guidons, Guidons. This is Eagle 6. The 101st Airborne Division's next Rendezvous with Destiny is North to Baghdad. Op-Ord Desert Eagle 2 is now in effect. Godspeed. Air Assault. Out." The division was in V Corps, providing support to the 3d Infantry Division by clearing Iraqi strongpoints which that division had bypassed. The Division then went on to a tour of duty as part of the occupation forces of Iraq, using the city of Mosul as their primary base of operations. 1st and 2d Battalion, 327th Infantry Regiment (1st Brigade) oversaw the remote airfield Qayarrah West 30 מיל (48 קילומטרים) south of Mosul. The 502d Infantry Regiment (2d Brigade) and 3d Battalion, 327th Infantry Regiment were responsible for Mosul itself while the 187th Infantry Regiment (3d Brigade) controlled Tal Afar just north of Mosul.

Once replaced by the first operational Stryker Brigade, the 101st was withdrawn in early 2004 for rest and refit. As part of the Army's modular transformation, the existing infantry brigades, artillery brigade, and aviation brigades were transformed. The Army also activated the 4th Brigade Combat Team, which includes the 1st and 2nd Battalions, 506th Infantry Regiment ("Currahee") and subordinate units. Both battalions were part of the 101st in Vietnam but saw their colors inactivated during an Army-wide reflagging of combat battalions in the 1980s, with 1-506th INF resurfacing in Korea, along with 1-503d INF and 2-503d INF (the latter later inactivated), as Air Assault units within the 2d Infantry Division. The colors of the 506th have returned to the 101st and 1-503d and 2-503d are parachute infantry battalions of the 173d Airborne Brigade in Italy, just as they were when the 173d was in Viet Nam.

The reconfiguration of 101st formed seven major units in the division (four infantry BCTs, two combat aviation brigades (CABs), and one sustainment brigade), making it the largest formation currently in the U.S. Army.

As of December 2007, 143 members of the Division have died while on service in Iraq. [8]

Second deployment to Iraq עריכה

The division's second deployment to Iraq began in the late summer of 2005. The division headquarters replaced the 42d Infantry Division, which had been directing security operations as the headquarters for Task Force Liberty. Renamed Task Force Band of Brothers, the 101st assumed responsibility on 1 November 2005 for four provinces in north central Iraq: Salah ad Din, Kirkuk, Diyala and As Sulymaniyah. On 30 December 2005, Task Force Band of Brothers also assumed responsibility for training Iraqi security forces and conducting security operations in Ninevah and Dahuk provinces as the headquarters for Task Force Freedom was disestablished.

During the second deployment, 2d and 4th Brigades of the 101st Airborne Division were assigned to conduct security operations under the command of Task Force Baghdad, led initially by 3d Infantry Division, which was replaced by 4th Infantry Division. The 1st Battalion of the 506th Infantry (4th Brigade) was separated from the division and served with the Marines in Ramadi, in the Al Anbar province. 3d Brigade was assigned to Salah ad Din and Bayji sectors and 1st Brigade was assigned to the overall Kirkuk province which included Hawijah, one of the deadliest cities in Iraq.

Task Force Band of Brothers' primary mission during its second deployment to Iraq was the training of Iraqi security forces. When the 101st returned to Iraq, there were no Iraqi units capable of assuming the lead for operations against Iraqi and foreign terrorists. As the division concluded its tour, 33 battalions were in the lead for security in assigned areas, and two of four Iraq divisions in northern Iraq were commanding and controlling subordinate units.

Simultaneously with training Iraqi Soldiers and their leaders, 101st Soldiers conducted numerous security operations against terrorist cells operating in the division's assigned, six-province area of operations. Operation Swarmer was the largest air assault operation conducted in Iraq since 22 April 2003. 1st Brigade conducted Operation Scorpion with Iraqi units near Kirkuk.

Developing other aspects of Iraqi society also figured in 101st operations in Iraq. Division commander Major General Thomas Turner hosted the first governors' conference for the six provinces in the division's area of operations, as well as the neighboring province of Erbil.[9] Numerous civil affairs operations were directed by the division, including the construction and renovation of schools, clinics, police stations, and other important landmarks in civilian communities from Turkey to Baghdad and from the Syrian border to the Iranian border.

Accusations of misconduct in Iraq עריכה

On 19 June 2006, the US military announced that three soldiers of the 3d Brigade Combat Team, 101st Airborne Division, Private First Class Corey R. Clagett, Specialist William B. Hunsaker and staff sergeant Raymond L. Girouard, were being charged in connection of the deaths of three male detainees in an operation near a canal north of Baghdad on 9 May. On 21 June a fourth soldier was charged, but none were convicted.

In July 2006, five troopers were charged in connection with the rape and murder of 14 year old Iraqi girl Abeer Qasim, and the murder of three of her family members, including a 5-year-old girl. The incident took place in Mahmoudiya, south of Baghdad. Previously, an arrest in the case was also made in June of 2006 when former trooper Steven D. Green was apprehended in North Carolina. On 17 November 2006 Specialist James Barker was sentenced to life in prison for the incident. Friday 23 February 2007 saw the Sergeant, two specialists and two privates convicted with lengthy sentences.

Third deployment to Iraq עריכה

The 1st Brigade Combat Team of the 101st is currently deployed in Iraq, in the Salah ad Din Province, northeast of Baghdad. The 2d Brigade Combat Team is currently deployed in Baghdad, and the 3d Brigade Combat Team is currently deployed in the Southern belt region southwest of Baghdad.

Second deployment to Afghanistan עריכה

The 4th Brigade Combat Team is currently deployed to Afghanistan to support the international security force responsible for security of the country.

General information עריכה

The most recent change of command within the division took place on 10 November 2006. During this change of command, MG Jeff Schloesser took command of the 101st from the division's previous commander, now-LTG Tom Turner. Turner left the 101st to command Fifth Army.

  • Commanding General: Major General Jeffrey J. Schloesser
  • Deputy Assistant Division Commander (Operations): Colonel (promotable) Mark A. Milley.[10]
  • Deputy Assistant Division Commander (Support): Brigadier General James C. McConville.[10]

Parachute Demonstration Team עריכה

The "Screaming Eagles" is also the nickname for the 101st Airborne Division (Air Assault) Command Parachute Demonstration Team. The unit traces its history to the late 1950s, during the infancy of precision free fall. The command group formed a full-time team in 1984.[11]
