Task force

Originally introduced by the United States Navy,[1] the term has now caught on for general usage and is a standard part of NATO terminology.

[4] In government or business a task force is a temporary organization created to solve a particular problem.

A taskforce, or more commonly, task force, is a special committee, usually of experts, formed expressly for the purpose of studying a particular problem.

For example, a task force set up to eliminate excessive government spending might consider a "best" solution to be one that saves the most money.

In business, task forces are initiated similar to military situations to form an ad hoc group of persons that focus on a specific subject, which needs urgent addressing, resolutions or results.
