The 82nd Airborne Division of the United States Army played an important role in the Vietnam War. The division was initially deployed to Vietnam in 1968, during the height of the conflict, and remained in the country until 1971.

The 82nd Airborne Division was known for its quick reaction capability and its ability to deploy rapidly by parachute or air transport to any location in the world. In Vietnam, the division was primarily used for infantry operations, including patrolling, reconnaissance, and combat engagements.

During the Tet Offensive in 1968, the 82nd Airborne Division was deployed to the Hue area of Vietnam to help retake the city from North Vietnamese forces. The division played a critical role in the fighting, engaging in intense urban combat and successfully recapturing the city.

In addition to its combat operations, the 82nd Airborne Division was also involved in humanitarian missions in Vietnam. The division helped to provide medical and logistical support to Vietnamese civilians affected by the war, and also assisted in reconstruction efforts in some areas of the country.
