The DOD Index of Security Classification Guides serves as a centralized repository for security classification guides issued by the Department of Defense. Its primary purpose is to provide a comprehensive reference for personnel to determine the classification status of information and to ensure uniformity in the handling of classified materials across the department. By consolidating these guides, the index helps prevent unauthorized disclosure and promotes consistent application of classification standards.

The security of a Department of Defense system that connects global security personnel and houses centralized computer processing and applications depends on multiple factors, including encryption, access controls, and regular security audits. While such systems are designed with robust security measures, vulnerabilities can still exist, particularly from cyber threats or insider risks. Continuous monitoring, updates, and adherence to security protocols are essential to maintaining the system's integrity and confidentiality. Therefore, while the system can be secure, its effectiveness relies on ongoing vigilance and improvements in cybersecurity practices.

The Secretary of Defense, or SecDef, is the head of the Department of Defense. This position is currently held by former CIA Director Leon Panetta after Robert Gates retired on July 1, 2011.

Stationed there during my Navy Reserve tour, the Department of Defense (DoD) is located in the Pentagon, in Arlington, Virginia, though its mailing address is Washington, D.C.

The Pentagon until this year was the largest office building in the world in terms of surface area. It is still considered one of the most efficient office buildings - though its corridors total some 17.5 miles, it only takes a few minutes to go from one side to the other. The lower level houses a mini-mall, complete with banks, bookstores, a department store, drug store, restaurants, etc. The Metro is also available at the level below that.

Working at the Pentagon is an experience in itself, as it is literally a small city. The name of the building comes from its shape - it is literally built in the shape of a pentagon. Each level has 5 "rings", A through E, with the A ring at the inner part of the Pentagon and the E ring at the outer part. Corridors at the angles allow quick passage from one ring to another.

There is a lot of historical memorabilia there as well. The Japanese Surrender documents are in the MacArthur corridor, along with MacArthur's famous corncob pipe, glasses, robe, his father's and his own Medals of Honor. Each military department has as well exhibitions of military art, models, militaria, etc., from the past. The Hall of Heroes has on its walls all those who have received the Medal of Honor. The media section houses the major news service correspondents, whose offices are located in the same ring as the Pentagon Briefing Room often seen on TV. The media ring also has exhibits of famous war photographs from years past taken by war correspondents.

Many felt that the name, Department of War, was too aggresive. It was one of the four original departments in Washington's first cabinet. The name was changed when the National Security Act was passed in 1947 which combined the Department of War and the Department of the Navy, and it was called the National Military Establishment. An act to amend the NSA was passed by Congress in 1949 and the name was changed to Department of Defense. Under the act, the Secretary of Defense was created, appointed by the President with consent of the Senate. The Secretary supervises the entire military.
