Joint Urban Operations

Joint Urban Operations (JUO) refers to coordinated efforts by multiple military branches—such as Army, Navy, and Air Force—working together to operate effectively within urban environments like cities. These operations involve planning and executing missions that address complex challenges like dense infrastructure, civilians, and variable terrain. The goal is to achieve strategic objectives while minimizing harm to civilians and infrastructure, often requiring specialized tactics, intelligence, and technology. JUO emphasizes interoperability and collaboration among different units to ensure a unified and effective approach in densely built-up areas.
