resistance cell
Covert opposition group
A resistance cell is a small, secretive group operating within a larger resistance movement, typically against an occupying force or oppressive regime.
Cells function semi-independently, with members often knowing only their immediate contacts—a structure designed to limit damage if one group is infiltrated or captured.
The resistance cell carried out sabotage operations behind enemy lines.
