How Joint Operations Work

There are three domains for Frontex Joint Operations, which correspond to the three types of border – sea, land and air. At whichever type of external border an operation is held, all joint operations are based on risk analysis. Each operation is uniquely tailored to the circumstances identified by Frontex in one of its risk analysis products and, based on these recommendations, the process of formulating an operational plan begins. Although the operating environments and other specifics of an operation may be very different, the process remains essentially the same.
