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 700,000
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.
