    ------------------------------------------------------------------------

    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.
        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 the Secretary, rather
    than specifying duties of subordinate officers (10 U.S.C. 3012, 3062).
