Action Group (Initiative Group)

Best perhaps to use Action Group as the main heading? That's the form used in the standard translation of the Chronicle. (It's also less of a mouthful.)

Hm, that's a good question. As far as I can see, more recent historical scholarship prefers "Initiative", but AFAIK "Action group" was the main form used during the time, also in Congressional hearings in the US etc. Nkrita (talk) 19:04, 26 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]
