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

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 1.3 million men and women on active 
duty. They are backed, in case of emergency, by the 825,000 members of 
the Reserve and National Guard. In addition, there are about 600,000 
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), headed by the Secretary of 
Defense.

Structure

The Department of Defense is composed of the Office of the Secretary of 
Defense; the military departments and the military services within those

the Secretary of Defense. The Secretary of each military department is

the Secretaries of these departments or their designees, by the 
Secretary of Defense, or under authority specifically delegated in 
writing by the Secretary of Defense or provided by law.
    The commanders of the combatant commands are responsible to the 
President and the Secretary of Defense for accomplishing the military 
missions assigned to them and exercising command authority over forces 
assigned to them. The operational chain of command runs from the

They may also submit their advice when it does not agree with that of

    The Chairman, while so serving, holds the grade of general or 
admiral and

[[Page 157]]

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.

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 assigned areas; 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 administrative 
requirements of their commands.
