What was known as "The War Department" had a period of existence from August 7, 1789, in its early origins, it was also named the "War Office" during the revolution; and it was located in Philadelphia, and then moved to Washington D.C. in the early 1800s.

It was led by "The Secretary of War" who was member of the United States President's Cabinet, starting with George Washington's administration, until September 18, 1947. At this point, it got divided into Department of the Army and Department of the Air Force coming together to the Department of the Navy conforming the new "National Military Establishment" (NME), and in 1949 was renamed "the United States Department of Defense".

How does Chester A. Arthur's decisions influence us today?
enot [183]

Historians view the Chester Arthur presidency as an important surprise, one that no one would have expected. Put simply, he performed well in office, defying his state-based reputation as a slick machine politician. Despite his poor health, he attempted to govern competently, and he succeeded to a degree that was never acknowledged by his fellow politicians, the press, or the great mass of Americans.

Although Arthur preferred efficient partisan government service to one selected by competitive examinations, he nevertheless showed tremendous flexibility and a willingness to embrace reform. By struggling with the tariff issue (especially being willing to question the protectionist doctrines of the Republican Party) and supporting the modernization of the American Navy, Arthur stands as an important transitional figure in the reunification of the nation after the bitter turmoil of the Civil War and Reconstruction. No party hack, Arthur demonstrated how the office of President could bring out the very best in its occupants.
