Joint Operational Access Exercise is a seven day inter grated effort between the 82nd Airborne Division and its Air Force partners. JOAX synchronizes the planning and execution of a large-scale forcible entry into a hostile area; securing sufficient freedom of movement while facing anti-access and area-denial capabilities of our enemy. This unified training brings together two Infantry Brigade Combat Teams, six Air Force Air Wings, support elements from fires and Aviation Brigades and other enablers along with the Division headquarters in order to prove the forcible multiplying value of joint operations.
