joint forces

Unified military coalition

Joint forces are military units from different service branches—army, navy, air force—operating together under unified command.

The term emphasizes coordination across traditionally separate organizations: The joint forces conducted amphibious operations along the coast.

More broadly, it can describe any collaborative effort combining distinct groups toward a common goal.
