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

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

as may be established or designated by law, or by the President or the

    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
