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. It serves as part of our
national military team, whose members include the Navy, Air Force,
Marines, and Coast Guard. The Army's mission 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.
The Army Organization Act of 1950 (64 Stat. 263) provided the
statutory basis for the internal organization of the Army and the
Department of the Army. The act consolidated and revised the numerous
earlier laws, incorporated various adjustments made necessary by the
National Security Act of 1947 and other postwar enactments, and provided
for the organization of the Department of the Army in a single
comprehensive statute, with certain minor exceptions. In general, the
act followed the policy of vesting broad organizational powers in the
Secretary of the Army, subject to delegation by him, rather than
specifying duties of subordinate officers (10 U.S.C. 3012, 3062).
Office of the Secretary of the Army
Secretary The Secretary of the Army is the head 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 may be prescribed by the President or the Secretary of
Defense as authorized by law.
Certain civilian functions, such as comptroller, acquisition,
inspector general, auditing and information management, are also under
the authority of the Office of the Secretary of the Army. Additionally,
the Secretary is responsible for civil functions, such as oversight of
the Panama Canal Commission and execution of the Panama Canal Treaty;
the civil works program of the Corps of Engineers; Arlington and
Soldiers' Home National Cemeteries; and such other activities of a civil
nature as may be prescribed by higher authority or authorized by law.
Principal Assistants The Under Secretary of the Army is the primary
assistant to the Secretary. Other principal assistants include: the
Assistant Secretaries, General Counsel, Administrative Assistant, the
several Directors and Chiefs, the Auditor
[[Page 205]]
General, and the Chairman of the Army Reserve Forces Policy Committee.
Army Policy Council The Council is the senior policy advisory council
of the Department of the Army. It provides the Secretary of the Army and
his principal civilian and military assistants with a forum for the
discussion of Army subjects of significant policy interest and an
opportunity for members to consult with other members on matters arising
within their specific areas of responsibility.
For further information, call 703-695-7922.
Army Staff
The Army Staff, presided over by the Chief of Staff, is the military
staff of the Secretary of the Army. The Army Staff renders professional
advice and assistance to the Secretary of the Army, the Under Secretary
of the Army, the Assistant Secretaries of the Army, and other officials
of the Army Secretariat.
It is the duty of the Army Staff to:

Staff in coordinating the action of all organizations of the Department
of the Army; and

prescribed by the Secretary of the Army.
Chief of Staff The Chief of Staff is the principal military adviser to
the Secretary of the Army and is charged by him with the planning,
development, execution, review, and analysis of the Army programs. The
Chief of Staff, under the direction of the Secretary of the Army,
supervises the members and organization of the Army and performs the
duties prescribed for him by the National Security Act of 1947 (50
U.S.C. 401) and other laws. He is directly responsible to the Secretary
of the Army for the efficiency of the Army, its state of preparation for
