Joint Operations

Military actions conducted by joint forces, requiring interoperability, shared doctrine, and integrated command relationships.
Defines joint operations

Joint operations are military actions conducted by joint forces and those Service forces employed in specified command relationships with each other [jointchiefs2016dictionary].

Jointness is not only coordination at the top. It is a shared operational language that allows planning, tasking, sustainment, and deconfliction to work across branches.
