    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.
    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,

    [[Page 175]]

    administration, operation, efficiency, and such other activities as may
