		Avenging Eagles-Forbidden Tales of the 101st Airborne in WWII

		But you will not find one among them that knew or was expected to know the art of killing, perfecting it to the degree achieved by some of the enlisted men.

		The 101st is unique in that it normally conducts operations 150 to 300 kilometers beyond the line of contact or forward-line-of-own-troops, requiring theater- and national-level intelligence support as a matter of course.
		The 101st Airborne Division was reactivated as a training unit at Camp Breckinridge, Ky., in 1948 and again in 1950.
		In May 1954, the 101st reappeared as a training unit at Ft, Jackson, South Carolina, and in 1956 was transferred to Ft. Campbell, Kentucky, for reorganization as a combat division.
