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
