Soldiers from the 101st Airborne Division (Air Assault) along with Dutch partners conducted an air assault demonstration at the town of Eerde, Netherlands on September 17, 2024. The air assault demonstration was to show the people of the Netherlands the evolution of vertical envelopment and the capability of a long range, large scale air assault. The demonstration was part of a series of events to help commemorate the 80th anniversary of Operation Market Garden during World War II which sought to free the Netherlands from Nazi-occupation and open up a pathway to Germany.
