wartime measures

Wartime measures are government actions taken during conflict to protect national security and ensure military effectiveness. These include expanding authority, issuing emergency laws, controlling resources, restricting travel, and mobilizing the economy. Such measures aim to support military operations, safeguard the population, and prevent sabotage or espionage. They may temporarily limit certain rights or freedoms, but are intended to serve the broader goal of national defense. Once the conflict ends, these measures are usually lifted or relaxed to restore normal civil liberties.
