The Joint Forces Command of the Armed Forces of Ukraine (Ukrainian: Командування об'єднаних сил Збройних Сил України, romanized: Komanduvannia obiednanykh syl Zbroinykh Syl Ukrainy) is a body of the General Staff of the Armed Forces of Ukraine. It was created in 2020 with the goal of planning and coordinating combined military operations in Ukraine.

History

[edit]

The creation of the Joint Forces Command was provided for on 10 December 2019 by decree No. 624 of the Ministry of Defense of Ukraine, with the aim of improving the management of the Armed Forces of Ukraine by creating a centralized body for planning and employment of military units belonging to all branches of the armed forces.[1] The command was established on 5 February 2020, and on 27 March Lieutenant General Serhii Naiev was appointed the first Commander of the Joint Forces of the Armed Forces of Ukraine.[2] Between 22 and 25 September 2020, the Joint Forces Command conducted the strategic and organizational exercises "Joint-Efforts 2020" (Об'єднані зусилля–2020), involving approximately 12,000 personnel and 700 combat vehicles from over 100 military units, as well as about 200 instructors, military advisers and foreign observers from NATO countries.[3]
