Overseas Commands refer to military units or organizations that operate outside their home country. These commands are responsible for various missions, including defense, humanitarian assistance, and training exercises. They ensure that military forces are prepared to respond to global threats and support national interests abroad. Typically, Overseas Commands are structured under larger military branches, such as the United States Department of Defense. They may oversee specific regions, like U.S. Central Command or U.S. European Command, coordinating efforts with allied nations and local forces to maintain stability and security in their areas of responsibility.
