The Joint Capabilities Group (JCG) is a war-fighting domain[1] of the Australian Defence Force responsible for space, cyber, and logistics capabilities. The group was formed in July 2017.[2][3] It is currently led by the Chief of Joint Capabilities Lieutenant General Susan Coyle.[4]

In 2023, the Albanese Government's Defence Strategic Review (DSR) recommended that Defence Space Command (DSpC) be moved into JCG by 1 July 2023.[5] On 1 July 2023, DSpC moved into JCG from the Royal Australian Air Force.[6]
