Defense, Department of a central military organization created by Congress in 1947, and given its present name in 1949. At the end of
World War II, the U.S. government decided that a central military organization was needed at the national and major command levels. In 1947, Congress created a civilian position with cabinet rank, secretary of defense; a new department, the
National Military Establishment, the Air Force and its own department; and it made the
War Department the
Department of the Army, and put all three armed services under the new secretary's control. In 1949, a further effort to centralize authority resulted in an amendment to the original act that made the new agency an executive department, renamed it the Department of Defense, and withdrew the cabinet-level status of the three military secretaries.
