Pontius,
JHC is indeed a joint organisation, but it belongs to the LAND TLB, in that it sits under the Army 4* for C2 (and therefore budgetary) considerations.
Therefore all 'green' (CHF, RAF SH and AAC) helicopters come under operational command of HQ LAND, although each service retains full command over its people - but that is another entirely different can of worms.
