Right now the 101st is capable
of fighting three types of wan:
The M-called brush-fire war of
limited aggression, using conven
tional weapons as Indochina and
Korea.
The limited war. calling for
atomic weapons only in and
around the battlefields
The all-out war in which every
thing goes, including the hydrogen
bomb.
Nobody here wants to become
involved in a roles-and-missions

who is going to do what in the

Army's only truly combat ready

It is capable of moving within

September the 101st has acted

The 101st is equipped with air

Further, it has ground radar

which guards against enemy sur
