The Pentagon is the headquarters of
the
U.S. Department of Defense
The Pentagon was dedicated on January 15, 1943 and it is the
world's largest office building. Those who work within its walls often
simply call it "the Building" or "Fort Fumble." The term
"the Pentagon" is often used to refer to the
Department
of Defense, rather than the building itself. The building,
located in Arlington County, Virginia is pentagon-shaped in plan and
houses approximately 23,000 military and civilian employees and about
3,000 non-defense support personnel, making it the highest-capacity
low-rise office building in the world. It has five floors above ground
(and two basement levels) and each floor has five ring corridors. Its
unusual shape results from the fact that its originally intended site,
Arlington Farms, was surrounded by five roads. Franklin D. Roosevelt had
it moved to its current location because he didn't want the new building
to obstruct the view of Washington D.C. from Arlington Cemetery
The
United
States Department of Defense, abbreviated as DoD or
DOD and sometimes called the Defense Department, is a
civilian Cabinet organization of the United States government. The
Department of Defense controls the U.S. military and is headquartered at
The Pentagon. It is headed by the Secretary of Defense,
The Department of Defense is based in The Pentagon in Arlington
County, Virginia outside Washington, DC, across the Potomac River. It
was created by combining the War Department (founded in 1789) with the
Navy Department (founded in 1798; formerly the Board of Admiralty,
founded in 1780), and the newly created Department of the Air Force. The
department was formed in order to reduce interservice rivalry which was
believed to have reduced military effectiveness during World War II.
It includes the
Army,
Navy,
Air Force,
Marines, as well as non-combat agencies such as the National
Security Agency and the Defense Intelligence Agency.
In wartime, the Department of Defense also has authority over the
Coast Guard; in peacetime, that agency is under the control of
the
Department of Homeland Security. Prior to the creation of
DHS, the Coast Guard was under the control of the
Department of Transportation. The Coast Guard has not been
formally militarized since World War II, although it has participated in
various military and law enforcement operations over the years.
