Description
Instructions
While it is important for you to understand the mission, purpose, and organization of the United States’ Naval Forces, it is also important to understand how they are integrated into regional commands and address the challenges that can arise in a joint or combined forces environment. Joint forces are when two or more branches of the military work together on a mission. Combined forces are when the military forces of two or more nations work together on a mission.
The Defense Intelligence Agency (DIA) made videos to explain jointness to their employees.

Explain the mission and functions of your service within that command.
Discuss the mission relationships and interoperability between the Navy, Marines, and Coast Guard within that command.
Explain what your service can or should do to improve relationships and interoperability between Naval Force components and ultimately enhance readiness within that command.
