Abstract
There appears to be some misunderstanding regarding the actual relation of the U. S. Air Force to other Department of Defense agencies. The U. S. Air Force is an independent and autonomous military institution separate and distinct from the Departments of the Army and Navy. It operates in coordination with the Army and Navy military services for defense purposes. Coordination in military matters is effected by the Joint Chiefs of Staff for Air Force, Army, and Navy. The Chiefs of Staff are under the direct authority of the Secretary of Defense in cooperation with the Secretaries of Air Force, Army, and Navy. The Army and Navy have individual air forces which are organized specifically to their requirements and which should not be confused with the overall functional requirements of the U. S. Air Force as an independent fighting organization.
