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

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).

Army Secretariat

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 Army Secretariat. 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 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 
the Secretary's 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.

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:
    --prepare for employment of the Army and for such recruiting, 
organizing, supplying, equipping, training, mobilizing, and demobilizing
