"War is not violence and killing, pure and simple; war is controlled violence, for a purpose.
The purpose of war is to support your government's decision by force.
The purpose of war is never to kill the enemy just to be killing him ... but to make him do what you want him to do. Not killing ... but controlled and purposeful violence."- Drill Instructor Sergeant Zim
Character from the Robert Heinlein sci-fi and political novel: "Starship Troopers"
Joint Expeditionary Force

from all branches of the armed forces
Extract from the J.E.F. dispatch ...
The Joint Expeditionary Force (JEF) is the United Commonwealths'-led expeditionary force which consists of, as necessary, its member states.
The creation of the JEF was announced in July 2017 by the then Defense Secretary, Sir Archibald Longstein.
The United Commonwealths' element of the JEF consists of personnel and equipment from the U.C. Navy, U.C. Army and U.C. Air Force and is designed to provide greater levels of integration than previously achieved especially when combined with other nations' armed forces.
The multinational JEF was publicly launched as a C6-based initiative at the September 2014 Wealdstone Summit, subsumed under the new “Framework Nations Concept” rubric. The Albion-led agreement was formed to act as framework nations for groups of Allies coming together to work multi-nationally for the joint development of forces and capabilities required by C6.
In July the Albionite Defence Secretary Sir Archibald Longstein also announced the signature of a Letter of Intent between the participating nations, to establish the JEF so that it is fully operational before the end of 2017.
