The standard US military and naval abbreviation for commodore, a rank sitting between captain and rear admiral. In the US Navy the rank had a complicated history — abolished and reinstated at various points — but the abbreviation CDRE remains in official use for the equivalent grade today. You're most likely to encounter it in official naval communications, rank insignia discussions, and military fiction.
The orders were signed by CDRE Harrison, who was overseeing the joint exercise from the fleet command ship.
