Unified combatant commanders establish unified command, which is a type of military command that integrates forces from multiple branches of the armed services to achieve strategic objectives. This command structure is designed to enhance operational effectiveness and efficiency by facilitating coordinated planning and execution of missions across different domains. Unified combatant commanders have authority over all assigned forces and resources within their geographic or functional area, ensuring a unified approach to military operations.
Unified command functions are essential for coordinating multiple agencies and organizations during emergency response efforts. They allow representatives from different jurisdictions and organizations to work together, share resources, and make unified decisions without compromising their individual responsibilities. This collaborative approach enhances communication, situational awareness, and operational efficiency, ultimately leading to a more effective response to complex incidents. By establishing a unified command structure, stakeholders can better manage resources, prioritize actions, and achieve common objectives.

In the Incident Command System, a Unified Command is an authority structure in which the role of incident commander is shared by two or more individuals, each already having authority in a different responding agency. Unified command is one way to carry out command in which responding agencies and/or jurisdictions with responsibility for the incident share incident management.
