abstract
  • The Department of Defense is an executive branch department of the United States of America. Beneath it are many subordinate departments, including the Departments of the Army, Navy, and Air Force, the National Security Agency, and the National Reconnaissance Office.
  • The Department – headed by the Secretary of Defense – has three subordinate military departments: the U.S. Department of the Army, the U.S. Department of the Navy, and the U.S. Department of the Air Force which oversee the U.S. Army, U.S. Navy, U.S. Marine Corps, and the U.S. Air Force. In addition, four national intelligence services are subordinate to DOD - the Defense Intelligence Agency (DIA), the National Security Agency (NSA), the National Geospatial-Intelligence Agency (NGA), and the National Reconnaissance Office (NRO). Other Defense Agencies include Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA), the Defense Logistics Agency (DLA), the Missile Defense Agency (MDA), Defense Threat Reduction Agency (DTRA), and the Pentagon Force Protection Agency (PFPA), all of which are under the command of the Secretary of Defense. DOD's military operations are managed by nine regional or function Unified Combatant Commands. DOD also operates several joint services schools, including the National Defense University (NDU) and the National War College (NWC). The Department is allocated the highest level of budgetary resources among all Federal agencies, and this amounts to more than one-half of the annual Federal discretionary budget. On February 26, 2013 the Senate confirmed Chuck Hagel as Secretary of Defense, replacing the retiring Leon Panetta, after a pitched nomination battle and a narrow vote.
  • The Department of Defense was formed out of the defunct Department of War in 1947 by President Harry S. Truman to reduce Interservice rivarlry between the branches of the Military, uniting all branches under one Department. The DoD quickly set out with its mission, creating the United States Air Force (previously belonging to the Army as the "Army Air Force"). Since it was also given control of the United States Military, the Secretary of Defense took direct orders from the President of the United States. The Department of Defense quickly grew in size as the United States government was constantly worried about an Communist attack on either its soil or the rest of world. The DoD would be issued a "blank check" by the government as the Cold War progressed, allowing it to open new projects and agencies (such as the secretive DARPA research division). Meanwhile, the Department of Defense also dealt with numerous wars and conflicts, as well as dealing with the various commands in the Unified Combatant Commands around the world.
  • The DoD developed APRANET, a prototype network connecting several universities and laboratories, that would become later the Internet. It is heavily in-show that it would have remained secret if an unknown individual hadn't exposed it "using a homemade computer". (“2πR”) It maintained "Stillwater Imports", a front at 780 Mercer St., NYC. After Reese and Mark Snow broke into the facility, Kara Stanton uploades a virus provided by Decima to the DoD's Intranet, aimed at infecting the Machine. (“Dead Reckoning”) Control was inside the Pentagon when Flight 77 crashed into it. She helped carry out the wounded and cover up bodies. (“Deus Ex Machina”)

The organization and functions of the DOD are set forth in Title 10 of the United States Code. The DOD is the major tenant of the Pentagon building near Washington, D.C. (hence its nickname of "the Pentagon"), and has three major components – the Department of the Army, the Department of the Navy, and the Department of the Air Force. Among the many DOD agencies are the Missile Defense Agency, the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA), the Pentagon Force Protection Agency (PFPA), the Defense Intelligence Agency (DIA), the National Geospatial-Intelligence Agency (NGA), and the National Security Agency (NSA). The department also operates several joint service schools, including the National War College.
