Functional Combatant Commands

Functional Combatant Commands are specialized divisions within the U.S. military responsible for specific global functions across all geographic regions. Instead of focusing on a particular country or area, they handle broad, essential missions such as cybersecurity, special operations, intelligence, or strategic deterrence. These commands coordinate resources and operations worldwide to ensure national security in their respective areas of expertise. By integrating capabilities across services like the Army, Navy, Air Force, and Marines, they enable a unified and efficient approach to complex global challenges.
