GIRRE
Capt. John Key wipes away the sweat running down his forehead during a break in convoy and weapons familiarization training, which is part of the Guam Initial Readiness Response Exercise, or GIRRE, Tuesday, March 14, 2006. The GIRRE is an annual island-wide exercise between Andersen Air Force Base and Naval Marianas to train on war plan deployments and joint disaster response skills. During the GIRRE, 300 Air Expeditionary Force Airmen will participate under conditions they may see when deployed. The mission of this exercise is readiness and to prepare AEF Airmen with skills they can use to keep alive downrange while working with Navy and Government of Guam agencies on disaster response to save lives at home.
