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 senior official 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
