The Department of War, which was replaced by the Department of Defense in the United States, historically used an eagle as its symbol. The eagle, often depicted with outstretched wings, represents strength, freedom, and vigilance. In its official seal, the eagle is typically shown holding arrows and an olive branch, symbolizing the balance between war and peace. The emblem reflects the department's role in national defense and military readiness.

It's not "the" arrow, it's a group of arrows. The eagle is shown holding an olive branch indicating that the U.S. is (usually) a peaceful country, but also holding a quiver of arrows indicating that we are strong and will use our military power if we have to. GWB notwithstanding.
