Following its return from Vietnam, the division was rebuilt with one brigade (3d) and supporting elements on jump status, using the assets of what had been the 173rd Airborne Brigade. The remaining two brigades and supporting units were organized as airmobile. With the exception of certain specialized units, such as the pathfinders and parachute riggers, in early 1974 the Army terminated jump status for the division. Concurrently the 101st introduced the Airmobile Badge (renamed later that year as the <a href="/wiki/Air_Assault_Badge" title="Air Assault Badge">Air Assault Badge</a>), the design of which was based on the Glider Badge of World War II. Initially the badge was only authorized for wear while assigned to the division, but in 1978 the Army authorized it for service-wide wear. Soldiers continued to wear the garrison cap with glider patch, bloused boots, and their specific unit's airborne background trimming behind their Air Assault or Parachute Badge, as had division paratroopers before them. A <a href="/wiki/Blue_beret" title="Blue beret">blue beret</a> was authorized for the division in March or April 1974 and worn until revoked at the end of 1979.<sup id="cite_ref-82nd_Podcast_25_60-0" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-82nd_Podcast_25-60"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>54<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup><sup id="cite_ref-101st_Blue_Berets_61-0" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-101st_Blue_Berets-61"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>55<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> </p><p>The division also was authorized to wear a full color (white eagle) shoulder patch insignia instead of the subdued green eagle shoulder patch that was worn as a combat patch by soldiers who fought with the 101st in Vietnam.
