History of Department of Defense

The Army, Navy, and Marine Corps were established in 1775, in concurrence with the American Revolution. The War Department was established in 1789, and was the precursor to what is now the Department of Defense.


One year later, in 1790, the Coast Guard (part of Homeland Security in peace time) was established. This was followed by the founding of the Department of the Navy in 1798.

The decision to unify the different services under one Department led to the creation of the National Military Establishment in 1947. This establishment would replace the War Department, which converted to the Department of the Army. That same year, the U.S. Air Force was established followed by the founding of the Department of the Air Force.


Finally, the three military branches, Army, Navy, and Air Force, were placed under the direct control of the new Secretary of Defense, confirmed by Senate.

In 1949, an amendment to the National Security Act further consolidated the national defense structure by withdrawing cabinet-level status from the three Service secretaries. The National Military Establishment was then renamed the Department of Defense.



Der..umm....duh....

That's right. There was no department of defense before 1949. We really never had a massive peacetime army tasked with anything like 2 1/2 war preparedness.

And never confuse things that happened under the articles of confederation with the constitution.

Another discussion has reached its conclusion.

Indeed. This isn't the first time Republicans have shut down the government like petulant private school kids.

I'm an open minded person. My offering multiple view points makes me a thoughtful person, not a liar.

I stand by my statement and have no regrets about offering several different views.

Strategically omitting words to further your agenda is not being "thoughtful".

[Shady Slim]

It's a funny thing. You guys loved cloture votes back then.

Imagine that. You must be a liar, too!

Thanks for the admission of being a liar.

[Shady Slim]

Nuh, uh. YOU are.

Very intelligent answer.


I am waiting for the "I am rubber, bounces off me and back to you" statement.

Favorable polls?

The people don't want the dreamers saved?

Where have you been?

That's exactly the opposite of what the polls actually are.

Polls are simply unreliable anymore. Anyone that uses "polls" in any argument has no facts. Ask Hillary about polls.

The dems are responsible. You're blaming the Repubs for something the Dems did....as usual they are the ones holding the senate hostage because we won't cave in to their DACA program. Be prepared for a great many setbacks....

your biotch Schumer is the one throwing a temper tantrum............
how many illegals do you have living in your home, that you are paying for everything?

Oh, I'm sorry- did you miss the fact that most people did not vote for Trump? We're fighting back, peter. And no, the GOP does not get to set any agenda.

Did you miss the Women's March this weekend? You all better wake up. Those last few special elections were not a fluke.

take away the double voters, dead voters, and illegal voters, and you do not have the majority.
What is it about total corruption that you would have put granny cankles in office? She has a trail of bodies lining her road to where ever she goes. and what about teh pay to play scheme Congress is looking into?
You had hoped she would have won so she wouldn't have to answer for her crimes.

There was no point for the Dems to force a cloture vote. The Dems are responsible, this is "Schumer's Shutdown".
