It is formed under the chairpersonship of the President, Vice President, Ministers of Justice, Interior, Foreign Affair, Treasury and Finance, National Education, National Defense, Chief of General Staff, commanders of the Army, Navy and Air Force.[3] The Secretary General of the Council is the Minister of National Defense.

Generally, council meetings are held in the first week of August and expands into three days. The appointments are made to be effective by 30 August (Victory Day). However, due to failed 15 July coup, the 2016 council meeting was held on 28 July 2016 and completed in a single day.[4]
