Today's Moment to Remember
What government departments and agencies did the National Security Act of 1947 create?
What government departments and agencies did the National Security Act of 1947 create?
On this date, September 18th, in 1947, upon approval of the National Security Act of 1947, the Department of Defense, Central Intelligence Agency, National Security Council, and United State Air Force were all born. Following World War II, the US government's military and intelligence agencies needed to be changed. These changes were driven by President Truman as part of America's Cold War strategy. The Department of Defense, now housing 5 military services, needed a new leader, so, James Forrestal, the Secretary of Navy during WWII, was chosen to lead this new organization.
