Best Answer

The Department of Defense, which is charged with national defense (and some would say the Department of Homeland Security as well) is part of the Executive branch, answering directly to the President of the USA.

The defense of people and territory is widely viewed as the first duty of government, and in almost all cases is administered by the national level of government. In the United States, for example, the President is head of the civilian executive authority, but is also Commander in Chief of all US armed forces. While other countries such as Russia or China are organized differently, they too reserve defense as a responsibility of the national government.
