SCAF (Supreme Council of Armed Forces)

The Supreme Council of Armed Forces (SCAF) is Egypt’s highest military leadership body, responsible for overseeing national security, military policy, and major state decisions involving the armed forces. It typically includes top military officials and serves as a key advisor to the government and president on defense matters. SCAF plays a crucial role during political transitions, maintaining stability, and sometimes influencing or controlling civilian government actions, especially in times of crisis or change. Its authority reflects the military's significant influence over Egypt’s governance and security policies.
