------------------------------------------------------------------------
The mission of the Department of the Army is to organize, train, and
equip active duty and reserve forces for the preservation of peace,
security, and the defense of our Nation. As part of our national
military team, the Army focuses on land operations; its soldiers must be
trained with modern arms and equipment and be ready to respond quickly.
The Army also administers programs aimed at protecting the environment,
improving waterway navigation, flood and beach erosion control, and
water resource development. It provides military assistance to Federal,
State, and local government agencies, including natural disaster relief
assistance.
The American Continental Army, now called the United States Army, was
established by the Continental Congress on June 14, 1775, more than a
year before the Declaration of Independence. The Department of War was
established as an executive department at the seat of government by act
approved August 7, 1789 (1 Stat. 49). The Secretary of War was
established as its head. The National Security Act of 1947 (50 U.S.C.
401) created the National Military Establishment, and the Department of
War was designated the Department of the Army. The title of its
Secretary became Secretary of the Army (5 U.S.C. 171). The National
Security Act Amendments of 1949 (63 Stat. 578) provided that the
Department of the Army be a military department within the Department of
Defense.
Secretary The Secretary of the Army is the senior official of the
Department of the Army. Subject to the direction, authority, and control
of the President as Commander in Chief and of the Secretary of Defense,
the Secretary of the Army is responsible for and has the authority to
conduct all affairs of the Department of the Army, including its
organization, administration, operation, efficiency, and such other
activities as
