101st Air Assault (the Screaming Eagles)

The 101st Air Assault, known as the Screaming Eagles, serves as a U.S. Army airborne unit for rapid crisis intervention. Bartlet orders its deployment to Khundu amid violence, including civilians blocking tanks. After the 82nd Airborne secures Bitanga Airport, Fitzwallace clears the 101st to move there and await a coded command. Bartlet names it as the force to seize the capital if Nzele refuses to stand down within 36 hours.
