The secretary of the Air Force is a civilian appointed by thepresident, by and with theadvice and consent of theSenate.^[2] The secretary reports to thesecretary of defense and/or thedeputy secretary of defense, and is by statute responsible for and has the authority to conduct all the affairs of the Department of the Air Force.^[2]^[3]

The secretary works closely with their civilian deputy, theunder secretary of the Air Force; and their military deputies, thechief of staff of the Air Force and thechief of space operations.

The first secretary of the Air Force,Stuart Symington, was sworn in on September 18, 1947, upon the split and re-organization of theDepartment of War andArmy Air Forces into an air military department and a military service of its own, with the enactment of theNational Security Act.

Responsibilities

[edit]

Stuart Symington is sworn-in as the first Secretary of the Air Force byChief Justice Fred M. Vinson on September 18, 1947.

The secretary is the head of the Department of the Air Force. The Department of the Air Force is defined as aMilitary Department.^[4] It is not limited to the Washington headquarters staffs, rather it is an entity which includes all the components of the United States Air Force and United States Space Force, including their reserve components:

The term 'department', when used with respect to a military department, means the executive part of the department and all field headquarters, forces, reserve components, installations, activities, and functions under the control or supervision of the Secretary of the department.^[5]

The exclusive responsibilities of the secretary of the Air Force are enumerated in10 U.S.C. § 9013(b) of theUnited States Code. They include, but are not limited to:

(1) Recruiting.
(2) Organizing.
(3) Supplying.
(4) Equipping (including research and development).
(5) Training.
(6) Servicing.
(7) Mobilizing.
(8) Demobilizing.
(9) Administering (including the morale and welfare of personnel).
(10) Maintaining.
(11) The construction, outfitting, and repair of military equipment.
(12) The construction, maintenance, and repair of buildings, structures, and utilities and the acquisition of real property and interests in real property necessary to carry out the responsibilities specified in this section.^[3]

By direction of the secretary of defense, the secretary of the Air Force assigns military units of the Air Force and Space Force, other than those who carry out the functions listed in10 U.S.C. § 9013(b), to theUnified and Specified Combatant Commands to perform missions assigned to those commands. Air Force and Space Force units while assigned to Combatant Commands may only be reassigned by authority of the secretary of defense.^[6]

However, thechain of command for Air Force and Space Force units for other purposes than the operational direction goes from thepresident to thesecretary of defense to thesecretary of the Air Force to thecommanders of Air Force and Space Force Commands.^[7] Air Force and Space Force officers have to report on any matter to the secretary, or the secretary's designate, when requested. The secretary has the authority to detail, prescribe the duties, and to assign Air Force and Space Force service members and civilian employees, and may also change the title of any activity not statutorily designated.^[8] The secretary has several responsibilities under theUniform Code of Military Justice (UCMJ) with respect to Air Force and Space Force service members, including the authority to convene general courts martial and to commute sentences.

The secretary of the Air Force may also be assigned additional responsibilities by the president or the secretary of defense,^[9] e.g. the secretary is designated as the "DoD Executive Agent for Space", and as such:

... shall develop, coordinate, and integrate plans and programs for space systems and the acquisition of DoD Space Major Defense Acquisition Programs to provide operational space force capabilities to ensure the United States has the space power to achieve its national security objectives.^[10]^[11]
