Which of the following are examples of unified commands?

• A. Joint Forces Command
• B. Transportation Command
• C. Strategic Command
• D. All of the above

Answer: (D)

Unified commands are combatant commands that have broad, enduring missions spanning more than one military department, enabling coordinated joint operations. Transportation Command fits this, since it provides global mobility across air, sea, and land for all services, coordinating their lift under one command. Strategic Command also fits because it directs the nation’s strategic deterrence and nuclear forces, a mission requiring integrated planning and control across multiple services. Joint Forces Command, during its existence, focused on developing and integrating joint warfighting capabilities, doctrine, and experimentation to strengthen how the services operate together. When you see these examples together, they all illustrate the same concept, so the best choice is all of the above.
