Purpose
Conference room and intelligence management center
The Situation Room is an intelligence management center on the ground floor of the West Wing of the White House. While the name suggests it is a single room, it is in fact a 5,000 square feet (460 m2) operations center attached to three secure conference rooms. It is run by about 130 National Security Council staff for the use of the president of the United States, chief of staff, national security advisor, homeland security advisor, and other senior advisors for monitoring and dealing with crises, as well as conducting secure communications with outside (often overseas) persons. The Situation Room has secure, advanced communications equipment for the president to maintain command and control of U.S. forces around the world.
The Situation Room has been upgraded several times, most recently in late 2023.[1]
