I like the 101st, I thought they were more mobile than they apparently are.
The 1st Cavalry Division is an armored division. The Cavalry title is historic. Like Airborne and Mountain for the 101st and 10th.

Again, define mobile. Strategic or tactical? The 101st is way more mobile than the 82nd once they get in theatre. It's harder to get them there though.
