The United States Army began back in 1775. It was originally under the control of the War Department until 1947, and since that time has been under the Defense Department. The U.S. Army fought in many of our nation’s wars; the Indian Wars of the 1790s, the War of 1812, the American Civil War, Spanish-American War, World War I and II, the Korean War, Vietnam War, Gulf War, war in Iraq, and the war in Afghanistan. When the American Revolutionary War began in April 1775, the colonial revolutionaries didn’t have an army, each colony had relied on their militia. Congress authorized 10 companies of riflemen. The first full regiment of Regular Army infantry, the 3rd Infantry Regiment, was not formed until June 1784. The Continental Army was quickly disbanded after the Revolutionary War due to the American distrust in standing armies. There were a couple of regiments that were given an exception, American needed someone to guard the Western Frontier and a battery of artillery guarding West Point’s arsenal. Even though the Continental Army was disbanded after the Revolutionary War our modern U.S. Army has its roots cemented in its history. Being the main land-based branch of the U.S. Armed Forces, its main purposes are defined as:
- Preserving the peace and security and providing for the defense of the United States, the Commonwealths and possessions and any areas occupied by the United States.
- Supporting the national policies.
- Implementing the national objectives.
- Overcoming any nations responsible for aggressive acts that imperil the peace and security of the United States.
The Senior Executive Service (SES) was established by Title IV of the Civil Service Reform Act (CSRA) of 1978 (P.L. 95-454, October 13, 1978) and became effective on July 13, 1979. The CSRA envisioned a Senior Executive Service whose members have shared values, a broad perspective of government, and solid executive skills. Its stated purpose was to "ensure that the executive management of the Government of the United States is responsive to the needs, policies, and goals of the nation and otherwise is of the highest quality." The Government's senior executives would be held accountable for individual and organizational performance. To achieve this purpose, the CSRA gave greater authority to agencies to manage their executive resources and assigned OPM the responsibility for Governmentwide leadership, direction, and oversight.
Under the CSRA, the SES was set up as a "third" service, completely separate from the competitive and excepted services. It replaced over 60 separate executive personnel authorities covering from one to several thousand positions. Top management positions that had been subject to disparate rules and practices, with requirements for prior approval of almost every personnel action, were joined into a unified and distinct personnel system that provided for considerable agency authority and flexibility.
