Pillow - The 82nd Airborne serves as the Army’s emergency response force and can deploy anywhere in the world within 24 hours. Its brigade combat teams are trained to parachute into hostile or contested territory to secure airfields and establish footholds for follow-on operations.

This is what they do, along with the 101st Airborne and 173rd.

I don’t like this crap either, but damn, have our soldiers backs!
