------------------------------------------------------------------------
The Department of Defense is responsible for providing the military
forces needed to deter war and protect the security of our country.
The major elements of these forces are the Army, Navy, Marine Corps,
and Air Force, consisting of about 1.4 million men and women on active
duty. They are backed, in case of emergency, by the 1.2 million members
of the Reserve and National Guard. In addition, there are about 670,000
civilian employees in the Defense Department.
Under the President, who is also Commander in Chief, the Secretary of
Defense exercises authority, direction, and control over the Department,
which includes the separately organized military departments of Army,
Navy, and Air Force, the Joint Chiefs of Staff providing military
advice, the combatant commands, and defense agencies and field
activities established for specific purposes.
The National Security Act Amendments of 1949 redesignated the National
Military Establishment as the Department of Defense and established it
as an executive department (10 U.S.C. 111), with the Secretary of
Defense as its head.
Structure
The Department of Defense is composed of the Office of the Secretary of
Defense; the military departments and the military services within those
departments; the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff and the Joint
Staff; the combatant commands; the defense agencies; DOD field
activities; and such other offices, agencies, activities, and commands
as may be established or designated by law, or by the President or the
Secretary of Defense.
Each military department is separately organized under its own
Secretary and functions under the authority, direction, and control of
the Secretary of Defense. The Secretary of each military department is
responsible to the Secretary of Defense for the operation and efficiency
of his department. Orders to the military departments are issued through
the Secretaries of these departments or their designees, by the
Secretary of Defense, or under authority

President and the Secretary of Defense for accomplishing the military
missions assigned to them and exercising command authority over forces
assigned to them. The operational chain of command runs from the

commands. The Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff functions within the
chain of command by transmitting the orders of the President or the
Secretary of Defense to the commanders of the combatant commands.
