Council set up to rule Syria after the 1963 coup d'état
The National Council for the Revolutionary Command (NCRC) was the twenty-man council set up to rule
Syria after the
1963 coup d'état.
The NCRC was composed of 12
Ba'athists and eight
Nasserists and independents. Its exact membership was kept secret for the first few months. Though some civilians were admitted, it was dominated by
military officers.[1]
Within the NCRC, the military officers created a committee to hold the real power described as a "Junta within a Junta."[1]
