The Airborne & Special Operations Museum (ASOM) is a significant part of the U.S Army Museum Enterprise. Its primary mission is to preserve and educate the public about the history of the Special Operations and Airborne community. Additionally, it provides a broader perspective on U.S military history. This museum is a valuable resource for anyone interested in learning more about these aspects of American history.

"Ranger Task Force and the Battle of Mogadishu" Exhibition

In October 2013, the museum inaugurated the "Ranger Task Force and the Battle of Mogadishu" exhibition. This exhibition features immersive dioramas and artifacts from the battle, including the remains of the Super 6–1, the first Black Hawk helicopter shot down during the battle, and the Super 6–4. This exhibition provides a detailed and immersive experience of this significant event in military history.

2020 World War II Exhibitions

In 2020, the museum hosted two exhibitions related to the Second World War. The first one, Operation HALYARD: The Greatest Rescue Mission of World War II, was a loan from the Halyard Mission Foundation. The second exhibition was Courage and Compassion: The Legacy of the Bielski Brothers. These exhibitions provide a deep dive into specific events and figures of the Second World War.
