The Combined Joint Task Forces (CJTF) concept is a NATO concept proposed in 1994 and approved in 1996 by Allied Force Commands for the command of NATO units in crisis management and conflict prevention. Today - three decades later - it is still used in numerous operations around the globe.

Meaning of the term CJTF

To better understand the term, it must be broken down into its component parts: The term force refers to a military formation or unit. A task force is an organisation with a specific, common mission. As a rule, it disbands once the mission has been completed or an agreed deadline has expired. A joint task force consists of formations / units from at least two different branches of the armed forces (army, air force, navy, space or cyber forces). A Combined Joint Task Force is made up of forces from two or more nations.
