How many Combatant Commands are there?

Explanation:
The number reflects how the United States organizes its unified combatant commands, split into geographic and functional commands. There are six geographic CCMDs (AFRICOM, CENTCOM, EUCOM, INDOPACOM, NORTHCOM, SOUTHCOM) and five functional CCMDs (SOCOM, STRATCOM, TRANSCOM, CYBERCOM, SPACECOM). Add them up and you get eleven. The other numbers would either miss one of these groups or add an extra, so eleven is the complete count as of now.
