The armed forces do not consist of one mass force. It separates into each warfighting domain. The army emphasizes fighting on land, the navy focuses on the sea, the air force are masters of the air space, and the marines are amphibious. Each of these organizations are important and must combine their capabilities to ensure success of military campaigns. Prior to any engagement, leaders of the organizations are planning together to best use their tools to complete their mission objectives. 

Collaboration and synergy are terms we have heard in the business world that express working with another group or organization to achieve business objectives. In large organizations, it is understandable that the complexity of IT and remote management of teams can cause silos to be formed and communication to be challenging. When we break down silos and establish proper communication channels we will be able to address incidents, problems, and solutions faster.
