military coalitions

Military coalitions are alliances of nations or armed forces that unite temporarily to pursue shared military objectives, typically in wartime or during major security threats.

Unlike permanent alliances such as NATO, coalitions form around specific conflicts and dissolve when their purpose is achieved.

The military coalition assembled to liberate Kuwait included forces from over thirty countries.

Coalition warfare requires coordination of command structures, logistics, and rules of engagement among partners with different capabilities and sometimes competing interests.
