FORT HOOD, Texas - In an attempt to narrow their response time, Soldiers with the 2nd Battalion, 7th Cavalry Regiment, 3rd Armored Brigade Combat Team, 1st Cavalry Division performed an emergency deployment response exercise Sept. 11 here.
Soldiers with 2nd Battalion, 7th Cavalry Regiment planned, trained and rehearsed necessary steps that would prepare them to deploy anywhere around the globe at a moment's notice if called upon.
Some of the tasks that were necessary to accomplish Global Response Force responsibilities included prepping baggage, staging vehicles at the flight line and arranging transportation.
During the EDRE, Soldiers ensured equipment was chained down for safe transport on the aircraft. Vehicles were positioned in the aircraft so that they could be driven easily off the ramp and into battle.
The exercise allowed Soldiers to practice aircraft loading procedures in an effort to reduce the time it takes to get ready for battle.
