The president is the commander-in-chief over all military powers in the US.
He consults with the military chiefs of staff but he is the commander and they serve at his will. Congress determines what the military will be and appropriates the funding for it.

The president shares his military powers with congress. Congress has the power to declare war, but after the Vietnam War the War Powers Resolution was agreed to and the president has the power to send some troops for a limited time.
The President of the United States shares power with the Congress, which itself is divided into the House and the Senate. The President does not declare war; he requests a 'declaration of war' from the Congress, who then vote 'yes' or 'no.'
No branch of government has ultimate control. Thankfully we have something called separation of powers (checks and balances). Example Congress legislative branch make laws. the president executive branch enforces them. the courts the judicial branch decides whether the law are constitutional. They interpret the law. Sadly over the years congress and given powers and extended the powers to the president.
The enumerated powers are those powers given to the Legislative Branch of government, which is Congress.
