Combined Operations had direct command over the Joint Operational Centres (JOCs) deployed throughout the country in each of the Operational Areas. There was a JOC per Operational Area.

The operational areas were known as:

Op Hurricane – North east border
Op Thrasher – Eastern border
Op Repulse – South east border
Op Tangent – Matabeleland
Op Grapple – Midlands
Op Splinter – Kariba
Salops – Operations in and around Salisbury
