Revolutionary Command Council

The Revolutionary Command Council, RCC; Arabic: مجلس قيادة الثورة majlis qiyādat ath-thawrah) is the seniormost military body under the Ministry of Defence of the Arab Union. The RCC's 5—9 members (currently 8, since 2021) are the highest ranking non-civilian members within the national defence apparatus (the Union Defence Forces/UDF), and are the only UDF personnel not formally part of one of the UDF's four commands, notwithstanding the command(s) in which a given RCC member previously served while rising through the ranks.
