The Canadian Joint Operations Command (CJOC; {{langx|fr|links=no|Commandement des opérations interarmées du Canada}}) is one of the two unified commands of the Canadian Armed Forces, the other one being the Canadian Special Operations Forces Command. CJOC was announced in May 2012 as the result of the cost-cutting measures in the 2012 federal budget through the merger of Canada Command, the Canadian Expeditionary Force Command and the Canadian Operational Support Command under an integrated command-and-control structure. The command was stood up on 5 October 2012 to officially replace the three former organizations.{{Cite news |url=https://www.theglobeandmail.com/news/politics/dnd-to-cut-costs-by-merging-command-of-domestic-overseas-canadian-forces/article2422352/ |title=DND to cut costs by merging command of domestic, overseas Canadian Forces |work=The Globe and Mail}}

CJOC's role is to "anticipate and conduct Canadian Forces operations, and develop, generate and integrate joint force capabilities for operations."{{Cite web |url=http://www.cjoc.forces.gc.ca/wwh-qqc/mission-eng.asp |title=Mission and Mandate |publisher=Canadian Forces |access-date=3 October 2012 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20121208030057/http://www.cjoc.forces.gc.ca/wwh-qqc/mission-eng.asp# |archive-date=8 December 2012 |url-status=dead|df=dmy-all}}
