August 16, 2025, marks the 85th anniversary of the first official U.S. Army Test Parachute Jump in 1940, commemorating the birth of American Airborne forces. Today, XVIII Airborne Corps paratroopers carry forward that legacy, preparing with discipline and precision before every jump. As America’s Global Response Force, the XVIII Airborne Corps remains ready to deploy worldwide within 18 hours. (U.S. Army video by Pfc.
