U.S. Army Chief Warrant Officer 1 Steven Beasley, 923A (Petroleum Systems Technician) of the 101st Airborne Division (Air Assault) interview during a Large-Scale Long-Range Air Assault and forward arming and refueling point (FARP) operations on Aug. 14, 2024, at Tunica Air Center, Mississippi.

The 101st Airborne Division (Air Assault) conducts a large-scale, long-range (L2A2) Air Assault in support of 2nd Mobile Brigade Combat Team “STRIKE”, 101st Airborne Division (Air Assault) Joint Readiness Training Center (JRTC) 24-10 rotation at Fort Johnson, La. Large-scale, long-range Air Assault (L2A2) allows the 101st Airborne Division (Air Assault) to rapidly concentrate highly lethal, low-signature, and cohesive combat forces from dispersed locations to overwhelm adversaries at a place and time of our choosing. L2A2 means delivering one brigade combat team over 500 nautical miles in one period of darkness, arriving as a cohesive element where the enemy least expects it, capable of fighting behind enemy lines for 14 or more days.
