war efforts

Civilian military support

War efforts are the collective activities, resources, and sacrifices mobilized by a nation or group during wartime.

The term encompasses military production, civilian contributions, and government programs aimed at supporting armed conflict: Women entered factories as part of the war effort.

Though most associated with World War II, the phrase applies to any organized mobilization for war.
