CJTF = Commander Joint Task ForceCJTF = Combined Joint Task ForceA military force composed of elements of two or more allied nations. CJTF = Coalition Joint Task ForceA coalition is an alliance among nations or groups during which they cooperate in joint action, each in their own self-interest, joining forces together for a common cause. This alliance may be temporary or a matter of convenience. A coalition thus differs from a more formal covenant.
