Strike Deep. Honor the Mission.
On February 25, 1991, the skies over Iraq filled with the thunder of hundreds of helicopters — the largest air assault in military history. The soldiers of the 1st Battalion, 502nd Infantry Regiment "Strike" Brigade, 101st Airborne Division (Air Assault) didn't just witness history. They made it.
This premium long sleeve tee carries that legacy on every thread. Featuring the authentic 1-502 Infantry Regiment insignia with Desert Storm designation and service ribbons, it's a wearable tribute to the airborne warriors who cut Iraqi supply lines, established FOBs Cobra and Viper, and helped deliver one of the most decisive coalition victories in modern warfare.
Why This Shirt Stands Apart

- Premium Long Sleeve Construction — Heavyweight comfort fabric built for everyday wear, not just display
- Extended Size Range — S through 3XL, available in Black, White, and Navy
- Living History — Every wear honors the air assault doctrine that changed modern warfare
The Story Behind the Sleeve
Deployed to Saudi Arabia in the summer of 1990 as part of Operation Desert Shield, the "Strike" Brigade spent months preparing for what would become a textbook display of air assault dominance. When Desert Storm launched, the 101st's 2nd Brigade sliced through enemy lines, severed Highway 8, and shut the door on any Iraqi escape route — all in 100 hours of ground combat.
The battalion redeployed to Fort Campbell in March 1991, carrying with them the validation of an entire doctrine and the quiet pride of a mission accomplished.
Whether you wore the patch, salute a family member who did, or simply respect the history — this long sleeve is your connection to one of America's finest hours.
