Soldiers with the 3rd Brigade Combat Team, 10th Mountain Division of Fort Polk, La., and Air Force elements from Dover Air Force Base, Del., and Joint Base Charleston, S.C., participate in an Emergency Deployment Readiness Exercise (EDRE) on July 7, 2021, at Volk Field, Wis. An EDRE by definition is a no-notice, rapid-deployment exercise designed to test a unit’s ability to alert, marshal, and deploy forces and equipment to an emergency disaster or for contingency operations. An EDRE also tests the deployment readiness of active component forces — in this case, the 10th Mountain Division. All of the Soldiers and equipment arrived at Volk Field on July 6 and 7 aboard Air Force C-5M Super Galaxy and C-17 Globemaster III airlift aircraft. Once everything and everyone was unloaded from the aircraft at Volk, operations shifted to Fort McCoy, Wis. (U.S. Army Photo by Kevin Clark, Fort McCoy Multimedia-Visual Information Office)
