joint operations
Coordinated military actions
Joint operations are military activities involving forces from multiple branches of the armed forces—army, navy, air force, marines—working together under unified command.
The term emphasizes coordination across service lines: The amphibious assault required joint operations between naval and ground forces.
In broader usage, joint operations can describe any collaborative effort between distinct organizations or agencies working toward a common objective.
