The 11th Transportation Battalion Supports a Joint Operational Access Exercise

摘要

In the Army Transportation Corps, the motto "Nothing happens until something moves," is common. Both tactically and strategically, transportation support units play a critical role in moving cargo, vehicles, and other necessary equipment forward into the fight. After spending the last decade engaged in combat operations, the leaders of the 82d Airborne Division wanted to train their units to conduct the basics of full-spectrum operations. To support this goal, the division conducted a joint operational access exercise (JOAX) from 9 to 16 February 2011. The exercise allowed the division's paratroopers and supporting units to train together in a weeklong, large-scale joint training exercise.
