The Allied Airborne Army WWII History The First Allied Airborne Army was activated on August 2, 1944 after the lessons of Sicily and Normandy showed that a closer relationship was needed between allied airborne forces, troop carrier units and other land, sea or air assets. Commanded by Lieutenant General Lewis H. Brereton, it consisted of the U.S. XVIII Airborne Corps (17th, 82nd and 101st Airborne Divisions), all British airborne forces (1st and 6th Airborne Divisions and the Polish 1st Parachute Brigade), IX Troop Carrier Command (US) and Royal Air Force troop carrier units as required by the command. The first combat operation of the First Allied Airborne Army was during Operation Market-Garden. This operation saw the insertion of the 1st (British), 82nd and 101st Airborne Divisions in addition to the 1st Polish Parachute Brigade, into the Netherlands during September, 1944. Although the American 17th, 82nd and 101st Airborne Divisions played an instrumental role in the Battle of the Bulge from December 1944 to January 1945, Operation Varsity was the next major operation conducted by the First Allied Airborne Army. During Varsity, the British 6th and the American 17th Airborne Divisions leaped into Germany and helped breach the last major obstacle to the heart of Germany – the Rhine River. |
The Allied Airborne Army Gaming Organization History In December of 2001 Deadstick and Ranger, in eager anticipation of the release of Medal Of Honor: Allied Assault, went in search of a clan to join. The few clans that had formed before the game was released were populated almost entirely by 14 year olds from the Netherlands. While not entirely opposed to playing with the Dutch, Deadstick and Ranger weren't terribly excited about joining a clan who's leader called himself "General Mega Death" and who still had to get his older sister to drive him to the mall. Thus the 325th Glider Infantry Regiment was formed as a group for mature adults who enjoy military history, gaming, just having fun, or better yet - all three. Late in the spring of 2002, BlackViper34 was asked by Deadstick if he would like to take over for him and lead AAA due to real life issues taking him away from the game. Later, the 325th GIR merged with the CAF (Canadian Armed Forces) and we became the Allied Airborne Army. This brought Nug to our organization. BlackViper34 as the highest ranking AAA member, and Nug as the highest ranking CAF member were then given equal ranks, and the responsibility of Co-Leaders of The Allied Airborne Army. Today the AAA is still growing and shows no sign of slowing down. January of 2007 will be our 5th anniversary. Hooray for us. :-) AAA members are a diverse group that come from different countries, different states, and many different backgrounds. It is the fun we have that makes us friends, and it is the reason we have been around far longer than most clans. We are always looking for "quality" people to expand our ranks. We accept people who share our philosophy, and who wish to contribute to a mature, cheat-free gaming environment. While Medal Of Honor and Call of Duty are our main focus, members of the AAA also participate in a wide variety of other games, spanning many genres of gaming. |
