White House Situation Room

The Situation Room is a 5,000 square feet intelligence management complex in the West Wing of the White House, consisting of a duty watch station and three secure conference rooms. It is run by about 130 National Security Council staff for the use of the president, chief of staff, national security advisor, and other senior advisors to monitor and deal with crises and conduct secure communications. The Situation Room was created in 1961 by President John F. Kennedy after the Bay of Pigs invasion failure and has been upgraded several times, most recently in late 2023. The staff includes five watch teams, a travel support team, video operators, and communications technicians, who monitor domestic and international events and provide current intelligence and crisis support to the NSC staff and the president.learn more on wikipedia
