82nd Division edit

The article incorrectly states that the 82nd Division is Air Assault. The 82nd is an Airborne division. The difference is that air assault uses primarily helicopters to move troops and equipment requiring fast roping, touch and go landings, and other similar techniques to get the troops on the ground where airborne troops are paratroopers who use parachutes to get themselves and their equipment to the ground. The prominent air assault division in the US Army is the 101st.
