| 82nd airborne is are rapid deployment force or it was till the war in iraq i dont know if it still is. During the 80's and 90's one brigade was on call and could be deployed boots on the ground any were in the world in like 12 hours or some thing might be 24 not sure on exact time. The other brigades rotated through the phases. The whole division was deployable in a few days. With the global war on terrisom we have prepostioned units around the world to act as a rapid deployment force. For instance there is a heavy mech brigade stationed in kuwait. I am not a marine so I dont know but arnt the meu's prepostioned arounnd the world as well to act as a rapid deployment force all my information comes from books written in the 90's I am sure its all changed.
