Best Answer

A defence minister holds an office equivalent to that of the U.S. secretary of defense. Until the end of World War II, that office in the U.S. was named the secretary of war. A defence minister or a secretary of defense is responsible for the administration of the armed forces, planning and preparation to defend against possible attack on the country, and planning and preparation to execute possible attack on foreign countries if the executive office decides it is necessary to initiate such an attack.
