First Army Division East's combined training effort recently prepared a unit of multi-component engineer Soldiers for a future retrograde mission to Afghanistan in support of ending Operation Enduring Freedom by the end of 2014. Army Reserve and Army National Guard Engineer Soldiers from Arkansas, South Carolina, Virginia, Missouri and Ohio recently completed their Cumulative Training Exercise, or CTE, at Camp Shelby Miss., with the assistance of the 177th Armored Brigade, First Army Division East. The 489th Engineer Battalion will deploy soon on a retrograde mission to the southern region of Afghanistan as part of the Central Command Materiel Recovery Element, or CMRE.
