Joint Operational Access Exercise (JOAX) 13-03 is a seven-day integrated effort between the 82nd Airborne Division and its Air Force partners.

According to organizers: "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 Brigade and other enablers along with the Division headquarters in order prove the force multiplying value of joint operations."
