82nd Combat Aviation Brigade, 82nd Airborne Division

82nd Combat Aviation Brigade, 82nd Airborne Division Wings of the Airborne! British paratroopers were inserted on six gliders around midnight, the first Allied company sized unit to begin the D-Day invasion.

The 82nd Combat Aviation Brigade deploys, on order, worldwide to find, fix and destroy enemy forces using aerial fire and maneuver to concentrate and sustain combat power. The 82nd Combat Aviation Brigade tactical moniker "Pegasus" is a name drawn from the historic June 6th, 1944 Allied invasion of mainland Europe. Specifically, Pegasus Bridge was the single most important piece of key terrain who

se control was critical to the protection of thousands of British and Canadian soldiers during their early morning assault on the beaches of Sword and Juno. These paratroopers used gliders to conduct air land insertions. Today, the Paratroopers of the 82nd Airborne Division rely on the men and women of Task Force Pegasus and their helicopters - Apache attack helicopters, Blackhawk assault and Medical Evacuation aircraft, and the Chinook cargo aircraft for their protection and support. Whenever paratroopers go into harm's way, they can rely on the significant lethality, firepower, and flexibility of Task Force Pegasus to ensure decisive victory, regardless of the task. The "Wings of the Airborne" Pegasus Brigade is led by Brigade Commander, COL Robert Beale, CSM James Journigan and CW5 Timothy Shrewsbury.
