This film is a documentary on the U.S. 101st Airborn Division aka. the Screaming Eagles in Vietnam, from the summer of 1965 to January 1967. The film shows their duties and daily life in Vietnam.
The 101st Airborne Division is a U.S. Army light infantry division trained for tactical air operations. The 101st was renowned for its role in Operation Overlord (the D-Day landings and airborne landings on June 6, 1944, in Normandy, France).
In mid-1965, the 1st Brigade and support troops were deployed to the Republic of Vietnam, followed by the rest of the division in late 1967. 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. In almost seven years in Vietnam, elements of the 101st participated in 15 campaigns.
Upon its arrival in Vietnam in 1965, the 101st division was an airborne unit. In mid-1968 the division was reorganized and redesignated as an airmobile division. The title reflect the division's shift from airplanes as the primary method of delivering troops into action, to the use of helicopters.
The 101st Division headquarters is at Fort Campbell, Kentucky. The division is one of the most highly decorated units in the United States Army and has been featured prominently in military fiction.
