joint operation
Shared military mission
A joint operation is a military or organizational activity involving multiple branches, agencies, or groups working together toward a common objective.
In military contexts, it typically means forces from different services—army, navy, air force—coordinating under unified command: The invasion was a joint operation involving ground troops and naval support.
The term extends to law enforcement and business contexts where separate entities collaborate: a joint operation between the FBI and local police.
