CJOAX 2015 - Huge U.S. & UK Joint Paratrooper & Marine Exercises in North Carolina.

Foreign paratroopers from Britain are currently training with U.S. troops from the 82nd Airborne Division at Fort Brag for what is being sold to the general public as a Combined Joint Operational Access Exercise dubbed CJOAX, the largest exercise of it’s like in 20 years.

Like a scene out of the Hollywood blockbuster movie Red Dawn, the multinational training session, which includes over 2100 personnel, is based on “short deployment” tactics (martial law-style deployment) and will continue to run through April 20th, paralleling training with the “3rd Special Forces Group and 2nd Marine Division at Camp Lejeune” in California, according to the Fay Observer.

During COJAX thousands of troops are dropped from various aircraft with heavy supply reinforcement over the duration of a few hours with night drops being the focus.
