Soldiers with Company A, 1st Battalion, 15th Infantry Regiment, 3rd Armored Brigade Combat Team, 3rd Infantry Division, find a moment to catch some sleep during the company's Emergency Deployment Readiness Exercise, Feb. 10. The Soldiers, who were alerted the night prior of a need to deploy on short notice, spent the night and early morning hours preparing their gear, drawing weapons and ammunition and loading pallets before being placed in the holding area to conduct Soldier Processing Readiness and verify manifests. The exercise was designed as a realistic way to test the company's standing operating procedures for similar scenarios they may encounter in the future..
