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

The Department of Defense is responsible for providing the military 
forces needed to deter war and protect the security of our country.
  The major elements of these forces are the Army, Navy, Marine Corps, 
and Air Force, consisting of about 1.4 million men and women on active 
duty. They are backed, in case of emergency, by the 1.2 million members 
of the Reserve and National Guard. In addition, there are about 670,000 
civilian employees in the Defense Department.
  Under the President, who is also Commander in Chief, the Secretary of 
Defense exercises authority, direction, and control over the Department, 
which includes the separately organized military departments of Army, 
Navy, and Air Force, the Joint Chiefs of Staff providing military 
advice, the combatant commands, and defense agencies and field 
activities established for specific purposes.
The National Security Act Amendments of 1949 redesignated the National 
Military Establishment as the Department of Defense and established it 
as an executive department (10 U.S.C. 111), with the Secretary of 
Defense as its head.

Structure

The Department of Defense is composed of the Office of the Secretary of 
Defense; the military departments and the military services within those 
departments; the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff and the Joint 
Staff; the combatant commands; the defense agencies; DOD field 
activities; and such other offices, agencies, activities, and commands 
as may be established or designated by law, or by the President or the 
Secretary of Defense.
    Each military department is separately organized under its own 
Secretary and functions under the authority, direction, and control of 
the Secretary of Defense. The Secretary of each military department is 
responsible to the Secretary of Defense for the operation and efficiency 
of his department. Orders to the military departments are issued through 
the Secretaries of these departments or their designees, by the 
Secretary of Defense, or under authority

advisers who may provide additional information upon request from the 
President, the National Security Council, or the Secretary of Defense. 
They may also submit their advice when it does not agree with that of 
the Chairman. Subject to the authority of the President and the 
Secretary of Defense, the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff is 
responsible for:
    --assisting the President and the Secretary of Defense in providing

    The Chairman, while so serving, holds the grade of general or 
admiral and outranks all other officers of the Armed Forces.
    The Vice Chairman of the Joint Chiefs performs duties assigned by 
the Chairman, with the approval of the Secretary of Defense. The Vice 
Chairman acts as Chairman when there is a vacancy in the office of the 
Chairman, or in the absence or disability of the Chairman. The Vice 
Chairman, while so serving, holds the grade of general or admiral and 
outranks all other officers of the Armed Forces except the Chairman of 
the Joint Chiefs of Staff.

Joint Staff

The Joint Staff, under the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, 
assists the Chairman and the other members of the Joint Chiefs of Staff 
in carrying out their responsibilities.
    The Joint Staff is headed by a Director who is selected by the 
Chairman in consultation with the other members of the Joint Chiefs of 
Staff and with the approval of the Secretary of Defense. Officers 
assigned to serve on the Joint Staff are selected by the Chairman in 
approximate equal numbers from the Army, Navy, Marine Corps, and Air 
Force.

[[Page 161]]

Combatant Commands

The combatant commands are military commands with broad continuing 
missions maintaining the security and defense of the United States 
against attack; supporting and advancing the national policies and 
interests of the United States and discharging U.S. military 
responsibilities in their area of responsibility; and preparing plans, 
conducting operations, and coordinating activities of the forces 
assigned to them in accordance with the directives of higher authority. 
The operational chain of command runs from the President to the 
Secretary of Defense to the commanders of the combatant commands. The 
Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff serves as the spokesman for the 
commanders of the combatant commands, especially on the operational 
requirements of their commands.
