2nd Armored Brigade Combat Team prepares for EDRE

Iron Soldiers assigned to 2nd Armored Brigade Combat Team, 1st Armored Division weigh-in before boarding their flight to Europe in response to a no-notice, rapid-deployment exercise designed to test a unit's readiness and ability to execute a mission anywhere in the world. This step in the process is important because making sure that everything is in compliance and everyone can reach their destination safely is a high priority in the execution of the mission.
