	All American, All the Way: The Combat History of the 82nd Airborne Division in World War II - by Phil Nordyke
		This book, the first to tell the full story of the 82nd — America’s first airborne division to see combat, and the only American parachute division still active today — follows these all-Americans from their first perilous drop to their victory parade up 5th Avenue in January 1946.
		Here the narrative forks, as the bulk of the division left Italy for England to prepare for the invasion of Normandy, leaving behind one regiment, the 504th Parachute Infantry, to take part in the disastrous assault on Anzio.
		Author Phil Nordyke brings to harrowing life the division’s exploits on June 6, 1944, where, after spearheading the airborne invasion, the paratroopers proved invaluable as shock troops and were pulled out of combat only to mount the airborne invasion of Holland—the campaign immortalized in A Bridge Too Far.

		The 82nd Airborne Division at Ft. Bragg, NC, still needs a rapidly deployable vehicle with firepower, a requirement some say could be met sooner rather than later if the Army is willing to shake the mothballs from its defunct Armored Gun System, sources say.
		As a result, the division recently passed along an “operational needs statement” to Army Forces Command that outlines the unfulfilled requirement, said Maj. Rich Patterson, a spokesman for the 18th Airborne Corps, which oversees the division.
		The requirement for an air-droppable platform has existed at least since the late 1990s, when the division disbanded one of its battalions -- the 3rd Battalion of the 73rd Armored Regiment, which was equipped with an aging armored reconnaissance vehicle called the Sheridan.
