Who May Join?
Any person who has been assigned or attached, by competent order, to the 82nd Infantry or 82nd Airborne Division (whether or not they are parachute or glider qualified), served in parachute or glider status with any other recognized Airborne unit (must be authorized to wear parachute or glider qualification badges), or R.O.T.C. cadet who successfully completed Airborne School is eligible for membership in this Association and Chapter.
Why Should I Join?
The Association exists to further develop the bond between current and past Airborne forces of the U.S. Military. To maintain a record of the history and accomplishments of Airborne Troopers. To maintain a close liaison with the active Division. To provide scholarships through the Association Educational Fund to recently released veterans and children of "All American" veteran and active duty members of the Association ($127,600 was awarded for 2016). Truth is, very few are those who do not cherish their memories and friendships from the military service. By joining, you may get in touch with old friends, forge new friendships, and simply be around people who truly understand your past experience.
How Do I Join?
Please complete our online application for membership.
NOTE: New Members must include proof of Glider or Airborne qualifications or service with the 82nd Airborne Division. A copy of your DD Form 214 is the preferred proof. Redacted documents are acceptable for security.
