Editing 101st Airborne Division (section)

===Interwar period ===

In 1921, pursuant to the [[National Defense Act of 1920]], the 101st Division was reconstituted in the [[United States Army Reserve|Organized Reserve]], allotted to the Sixth [[Corps Area]], and assigned to the [[XVI Corps (United States)|XVI Corps]], and further allotted to the state of [[Wisconsin]]. The division headquarters was organized on 10 September 1921 in Room 412 of the [[Federal Building (Milwaukee, Wisconsin)|Federal Building]] in [[Milwaukee]], moving in July 1922 to the Pereles Building, where it remained until activated for World War II. The designated mobilization and training station for the division was [[Fort Custer Training Center|Camp Custer]], [[Michigan]], where much of the division's annual training activities occurred in the interwar years. The headquarters and staff usually trained with the staff of the [[6th Infantry Division (United States)|12th Infantry Brigade]] either at Camp Custer or [[Fort Sheridan, Illinois]], while the infantry regiments trained primarily with the [[2nd Infantry Regiment (United States)|2nd Infantry Regiment]] at Camp Custer. The special troops, artillery, engineers, aviation, medical, and quartermaster units trained at various posts in the Sixth and Seventh Corps Areas. In addition, division personnel also conducted the [[Citizens' Military Training Camp]]s in the division's home area as an alternate form of annual training. The division's primary "feeder" schools for newly commissioned Reserve lieutenants were the [[University of Wisconsin-Madison|University of Wisconsin]], [[Ripon College (Wisconsin)|Ripon College]], and [[St. Norbert College]].

Division personnel sometimes participated in the Sixth Corps Area and [[Second United States Army|Second Army]] command post exercises with other Regular Army, National Guard, and Organized Reserve units, but the division did not participate as a unit in the various Sixth Corps Area maneuvers and the Second Army maneuvers of 1937, 1940, and 1941, because of a lack of enlisted personnel and equipment to use. Instead, the officers and a few enlisted reservists were assigned to Regular Army and National Guard units to fill vacant slots, and some officers were assigned duties as umpires or support personnel.<ref name="101HHClineage"/><ref>{{cite book |url=http://usacac.army.mil/cac2/cgsc/carl/download/csipubs/OrderOfBattle/OrderofBattle1.pdf |title=US Army Order of Battle 1919–1941, Volume 1 The Arms: Major Commands and Infantry Organizations, 1919–41 |first=Steven E. |last=Clay |date=2010 |publisher=[[Combat Studies Institute Press]] |location=Fort Leavenworth, KS |page=278 |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20170622090734/http://usacac.army.mil/cac2/cgsc/carl/download/csipubs/OrderOfBattle/OrderofBattle1.pdf |archive-date=2017-06-22}}{{source-attribution}}</ref>

It was at this time that the [[Old Abe|"Screaming Eagle" mascot]] became associated with the division, as a successor to the traditions of the Wisconsin volunteer regiments of the [[American Civil War]].<ref name="101ETOOrder">{{cite web |url=http://www.history.army.mil/documents/ETO-OB/101ABN-ETO.htm |title=U.S. Army Divisions in the ETO |website=U.S. Army Center of Military History |access-date=14 March 2012 |archive-date=1 October 2018 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20181001223810/https://history.army.mil/documents/ETO-OB/101ABN-ETO.htm |url-status=dead}}</ref>
