The advantages of waging war with other partners greatly outweigh the challenges and disadvantages greatly. By forging coalitions of countries that have the same objectives, the force multiplier of collaborating countries sharing information, political and military goals, and responsibilities presents the combatant commander with seemingly endless opportunities. The key is knowing how to manage coalition partners who can join to provide the strength of numbers or technological superiority for the pursuit of a common goal or goals. The commander of a multinational force can use cohesion and mutual support to gain operational success in the campaign.
