Nearly 80 helicopters from the 101st Airborne Division (Air Assault) conducted an over 500 mile large-scale, long-range air assault into JRTC with personnel and equipment from the 2nd Brigade Combat Team.
"It just proves the U.S. Army is capable of a lot of things. We haven't done this large-scale, long-range air assault in quite a long time, but we haven't seen this distance we just accomplished in the last couple of days." - Capt. Nathan Vitacco, B Co Commander, 1-502, 2BCT, 101st Airborne Division (Air Assault) #LLAASLT
