Abstract

Joint operations are operations conducted by forces from more than one branch of the military. Joint operations range from cooperation between forces to the optimal use of each force's strengths and weaknesses to achieve an ultimate goal at the strategic or operational level. In joint operations, the strength of one force compensates for the weakness of another, leading to synergy. Efficiency, freedom of action, and flexibility are the main reasons for using joint operations to achieve military objectives. Using different units of the armed forces in joint operations reduces operational risk. Conducting joint exercises and maneuvers between different forces increases coordination between forces and prevents tension and conflict between different systems. The objectives of this research are to introduce theories of joint operations and examine joint operations on land, air, and sea together. It also seeks to assess how joint operations are applied in military operations and advocates for a balance that integrates historical lessons with contemporary military needs. The type of research is applied and descriptive in terms of method. The data collection method is library and the review and translation of texts by a number of military theorists around the world.
