The 82nd Airborne Division will host current and former Paratroopers, their families and the local community during All American Week 2025 May 19-22 on Fort Bragg.
All American Week 2025 is a dynamic celebration of the 82nd Airborne Division’s unwavering identity: “We’re All American and Proud to Be.” It honors the sacrifice, courage and legacy of Paratroopers, past and present, and the enduring strength of America’s Guard of Honor.
All American Week 2025 is the nexus for Paratroopers, families, Veterans and the local community to come together, honor tradition and showcase the excellence that defines the 82nd Airborne Division.
Throughout the week, Paratroopers will compete in a series of events to claim the title of best Battalion in Division. Competitions include a 10-mile run, boxing, swimming, combatives, soccer, flag football, functional fitness, tug-of-war and a culinary competition. These events highlight the diverse talents of the Paratroopers and strengthen camaraderie and unit pride.
In addition to the competitions, a series of ceremonies and receptions will recognize the contributions of former unit leaders, dedicated volunteers and community supporters whose steadfast commitment continues to shape and support the 82nd Airborne Division.
