Soldiers from Company C & D, 2-505th Parachute Infantry
Regiment, 3rd Brigade, 82nd Airborne Division parachute from
Air Force planes and conduct a nighttime raid on a chemical
storage site with hostages as part of Joint Operational
Access Exercise (JOAX) 13-03 at Fort Bragg, NC on June 25,
2013.
JOAX is a seven-day integrated 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 force multiplying value of joint
operations.
