A paratrooper with Charlie Company, 2nd Battalion, 503rd Infantry Regiment (Airborne) based at Caserma Del Din, Vicenza, Italy, lowers his rucksack and weapon while jumping into Grafenwoehr Training Area, Germany March 24 as part of an Emergency Deployment Readiness Exercise. The EDRE tests the ability of the warfighters to rapidly deploy, a key component of their mission as part of the 173rd Airborne Brigade, the Army Contingency Response Force for Europe, which requires the paratroopers be able to conduct a full range of military operations across the United States' European, Central and Africa Commands areas of responsibility.
