Who is military advisor to secretary of defense?
Technically, the SecDef does not have any specific position which is designated as his "military advisor". As the SecDef, he is the immediate superior to the entire US military, and will generally consult directly with the head of any department or Command when information is needed. While the staff of the SecDef often contains a significant number of military personnel, they are not in a specific advisory role. The President of the United States currently relies on the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff to be the primary military advisor and liaison.

What are the two main duties of the secretary of state?
The SecDef is the head civilian of the US Department of Defense (note: that is not the same things as head of the military). The position is administrative and policy-oriented; it is NOT a military operational command position. That said, the SecDef is the second highest person in the military chain-of-command, superseded only by the President, and can give binding military orders, even though the SecDef office is a civilian, and not a military post.The primary duties of the modern SecDef are:Make sure that the President's policies which require military support or intervention are properly implemented by the relevant military operational commands.Develop (in conjunction with the President) an overall military policy regarding how the U.S. military forces will deal with threats. This included deciding on the exact structure and makeup of the military itself - how the military will be split up, what the tasks assigned to the individual services are to be, and determining what the proper equipment and troop levels are to be to fulfill that policy.Oversee all DoD procurement. The SecDef is charged with determining what weapon systems and other equipment are needed by the military to complete their assigned missions. These recommendations are then passed to Congress for funding; the SecDef is responsible to see that the programs that Congress decides to fund are properly managed, and that the equipment purchase levels are integrated into the overall military policy and plan.Make recommendations to Congress and the President as to the promotion of persons to flag-level ranks (i.e O-7 and above grades).Advise the President on administrative and policy matters with regards to the U.S. Armed Forces (military operational advice is almost always given through the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff or the relevant Operational Command's leader).In the absence of the President, the SecDef is the senior military commander, and thus, has command responsibility as appropriate to the situation.Working with the Chiefs of Staff representative of each branch, insure that internal administrative functions of the military are properly taken care of.Obviously, not all of the above tasks are handled personally by the SecDef, but are part of the Office of the SecDef's responsibility (i.e. the SecDef may staff out the responsibility, but the responsibility ultimately is still his).
