The Department of the Army is the Federal Government agency within which the United States Army is organized, and it is led by the Secretary of the Army who has statutory authority 10 U.S.C. § 3013 to conduct its affairs and to prescribe regulations for its government, subject to the limits of the law, and the directions of the Secretary of Defense and the President.
The Secretary of the Army is a civilian official appointed by the President and confirmed by the Senate. The highest-ranking military officer in the department is the Chief of Staff of the Army, who is also a member of the Joint Chiefs of Staff. Other senior officials of the Department are the Under Secretary of the Army (principal deputy to the Secretary) and the Vice Chief of Staff of the Army (principal deputy to the Chief of Staff.)
The Department of War was originally formed in 1789 as an Executive Department of the United States, and was renamed by the National Security Act of 1947 to the Department of the Army on September 18, 1947. By amendments to the National Security Act of 1947 in 1949, the Department of the Army was transformed to its present-day status.

Being a soldier in the United States Army involves more than dressing in camo, carrying a rifle and fighting-much more.
It takes a special set of skills to survive in combat. It’s no walk in the park.
It takes tenacity, hard work and discipline.
The Official U.S. Army Combat Skills Handbook, revised and updated by Sergeant First Class Matt Larsen and published by Lyons Press, is absolutely packed with information, instructions, visual aids and guides.
In its pages learn about Army values and culture, individual readiness, combat medicine, environments, fighting techniques, security procedures, marksmanship, communications, survival, explosives, and much much more.
If you’re preparing for a military career or just want to hone up on your survival, defense, weapons and medical and covert skills this is the book to own and read.
Hebrews 4:12
For the word of God is quick, and powerful, and sharper than any twoedged sword, piercing even to the dividing asunder of soul and spirit, and of the joints and marrow, and is a discerner of the thoughts and intents of the heart.
