On 27 August 1990, the battalion deployed to Saudi Arabia in support of the 101st Airborne Division and Operation Desert Shield. During Operation Desert Storm, the 801st participated in the largest Air Assault operation in history.

In November of 2001, elements of the battalion were deployed to Jacobabad, Pakistan in support of Operation Enduring Freedom. In February 2003, the battalion deployed to Camp Pennsylvania, Kuwait in support of Operation Iraqi Freedom. From Kuwait, the battalion moved north and established Forward Area Refueling and Supply points at SHELL enabling all of the Division's ground and aviation assets to conduct deep attacks on the Iraqi regime.
