Lead: There was a time that America's Army Reserve needed weeks and sometimes months to deploy troops overseas. Today, it can send Soldiers and their equipment into battle in mere days or even hours. U.S. Army Staff Sgt. Kirk Bell documents how one such Army Reserve unit--the 332nd Transportation Battalion from Tampa, Fla.--can muster and mobilize its men and materiel to any corner of world within 96 hours thanks to realistic training simulations produced by Deployment Readiness Exercise Level III.
