Geographic Combatant Commands

Geographic Combatant Commands (GCCs) are unified military organizations responsible for overseeing defense and security operations within specific regions of the world. They coordinate and direct all U.S. military activities—such as training, disaster response, and defense—across their assigned areas. Each GCC is led by a senior military commander and focuses on regional stability and security. Their scope includes countries, continents, or large geographic zones, ensuring a unified military effort tailored to the unique needs and challenges of that region.
