The XVIII Airborne Corps is “America’s Contingency Corps” and is tasked with rapidly deploying Army forces anywhere in the world by air, land, or sea. When the President of the United States requires military forces to respond quickly to crises or contingencies, the XVIII Airborne Corps is called first. Modernizing the current facility in a JDWC is not only critical for the security and effectiveness of the Corps, but is also more cost effective and provides the nation with a critical capability.
