war cabinets
Conflict leadership groups
War cabinets are small groups of senior government officials assembled to direct a nation's affairs during wartime.
Unlike regular cabinets, they exclude ministers whose portfolios aren't essential to the war effort, allowing faster decision-making.
Britain's war cabinet under Churchill during World War II is the classic example: The war cabinet met daily to coordinate military strategy.
