Emergency Deployment Readiness Exercises are routine readiness tests designed to improve a units ability to deploy, fight and win decisively in any environment. This EDRE tested Charger Company's ability to deploy from Alaska to Joint Base Lewis-McChord on short notice in order to validate their capability and preparedness to respond to contingencies. America’s First Corps is unique in its capabilities and war-fighting platforms, creating specific, enabling, packages in support of unified land operations and decisive action.
