task-force
Specialized working group
A task force is a temporary group assembled to address a specific problem or mission.
Military task forces combine units from different branches for particular operations.
In civilian contexts, task forces investigate issues or implement initiatives: The mayor appointed a task force on homelessness.
The group disbands once its objective is met.
