Defence minister - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia (526 words)
A defence minister (or defense minister, see spelling differences) is a cabinet portfolio (position) which regulates the armed forces in a sovereign nation.
Another common reform which occurred at the end of World War II was to place the defence minister in a National Security Council or inner cabinet which allows the head of government to coordinate both military and diplomatic activities.
In the United States, the defence minister has been called the Secretary of Defense since 1947, when the once separate War Department and the Department of the Navy were merged (though the Secretary of the Navy exists to this day, it is no longer a Cabinet level position, being subordinate to the Secretary of Defense).
