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

    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' and Airmen's
    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.

    Chief of Staff  The Chief of Staff is the principal military adviser to
    the Secretary of the Army and is charged 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
    by the National Security Act of 1947 (50 U.S.C. 401) and other laws. The
    Chief of Staff is directly responsible to the Secretary of the Army for
