Air Assault is no longer viable. The deep helicopter strike in Iraq proved that. The Marines are no longer the Marines and are better described as a Coastal Defense Force. Needless to say, amphibious assault is dead...as is the old mantra of them being a 9-1-1 force. That leaves America's Airborne as the last viable form of forcible entry we have. Perhaps its time for the 101st to go back to being a parachute outfit?
