An Air Force C-5M Super Galaxy from Dover Air Force Base, Del., carrying Soldiers with the 3rd Brigade Combat Team, 10th Mountain Division of Fort Polk, La., parks in a parking area July 7, 2021, as part of an Emergency Deployment Readiness Exercise (EDRE) 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 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)
