The 101st Airborne Division (Air Assault) became the first division in the U.S. Army to execute a division review, June 24, 2021. COVID-19 pandemic constrained how the Army conducts traditional military ceremonies since early 2020. The division has the highest vaccinated population in the Army, so the decision to conduct a full review was to reify the division cohesion.
