Daily Waypoint | N 42° 33′ 39.5″ W 72° 17′ 37.7″ 82nd Airborne Soldier in a Fox Hole—Airborne forces are military units set up to be moved by aircraft and "dropped" into battle, typically by parachute. Thus, they can be placed behind enemy lines, and have the capability to deploy almost anywhere with little warning. The 82nd Airborne Division is an airborne infantry division of the United States Army, specializing in parachute assault operations. It was organized in August 1917 originally as the 82nd Division of the United States Army and served with distinction on the Western Front in the final months of World War I. Since its initial members came from all 48 states, the division acquired the nickname All-American, which is the basis for its famed "AA" shoulder patch. The division later served in World War II where, in August 1942, it was reconstituted as the first airborne division of the U.S. Army and fought in numerous campaigns during the war. >>>FMG>>>> Like.

Shortly before D Day in late May 1944 - King George IV with Queen Elizabeth & the 18 year old Princess Elizabeth ( now of course our Queen ) visited the 6th Airborne Division. A young sapper officer is explaining the contents of a hand pushed trolley - several others are visible with the troops. The first photo shows the then Princess Elizabeth, herself an ATS officer, watching the airborne display with Brigadier James Hill. . . . #HerMajesty #TheQueen #ElizabethII #GeorgeVI #QueenElizabethII #HouseofWindsor #British #Airbornedivision #Monarch #Crown #BuckinghamPalace #kensingtonpalace #royalty #RoyalFamily #GreatBritain #Monarchy #Britishroyals #BritishMonarch #RoyalHistory #BritishMonarchy #TheBritishMonarchy #royals #BritishRoyals #Queenmother #GodSaveTheQueen #Westminster #DDay #windsorcastle (at United Kingdom) https://www.instagram.com/p/B1zinGZgsx4/?igshid=lzd3pobead6m

Private Ware applies last second war paint to Private Plaudo in England June 1944. * The Filthy Thirteen was the name given to the 1st Demolition Section of the Regimental Headquarters Company of the 506th Parachute Infantry Regiment, 101st AirborneDivision, of the United States Army, which fought in the European campaign in World War II. * The 1st Demolition Section was assigned and trained as demolition saboteurs to destroy enemy targets behind the lines.Inspired by Jake McNiece's leadership style, the unit had a tremendous mission focus but their blatant disregard for those aspects of military discipline that did not contribute to the mission became the bane of their officers. The unit acquired the nickname the Filthy Thirteen while living in Nissen huts in England. A demolition section consisted of thirteen enlisted men and they refused to bathe during the week in order to use their water ration for cooking game poached from the neighboring manor. Photos of the men wearing Indian-style "mohawks" and applying war paint to one another excited the public's interest in this unit. The inspiration for this came from McNiece, who was part Choctaw.During the Normandy Invasion of Europe in June 1944, the group was airdropped with the 3rd Battalion, 506th Parachute Infantry Regiment by aircraft of the 440th Troop Carrier Group of the United States Army Air Forces. They were ordered to secure or destroy the bridges over the Douve River.  Half were either killed, wounded or captured on the jump, but the rest led by Jake McNiece accomplished their mission. Most of the 3rd Battalion leadership had been killed on the initial jump so without any contact with the 3rd Battalion, senior officers assumed the battalion had failed its mission and ordered the Air Force to bomb the bridges. The Filthy Thirteen also participated in the capture of Carentan. https://www.instagram.com/p/BpEq4H5Csb7/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=y2fxwmmhnoii

During Operation Market Garden, the Demolition Platoon was assigned to defend the three bridges over the Dommel River in Eindhoven, the Netherlands. German bombing of the city killed or wounded half the demolitions men in the platoon, and McNiece was then promoted to platoon sergeant. Jack Womer took his place as section sergeant. For the rest of the campaign, the demolitions men secured the regimental command post or protected https://www.instagram.com/p/B1KPc0uACXa/?igshid=15q4uh23j8s1f
