The 101st Airborne Division was formed at Camp Claiborne, Louisiana on 15 August 1942. By the time the division saw its first combat on 6 June 1944 the men of the 'Screaming Eagles', named for the emblem on their shoulder patch, had undergone extensive and intense training in the United States and United Kingdom.
On arriving in Bastogne on 19 December the first units of the 101st Airborne were thrust into the line to halt the advancing Germans. As they set up a defensive perimeter around Bastogne, they were attacked by 2. Panzerdivision, Panzer Lehr Division, and 26. Volksgrenadierdivision.
