No, the Secretary of State does not control the Department of Defense. The Secretary of State is primarily responsible for foreign policy and international relations, while the Department of Defense is led by the Secretary of Defense, who oversees military operations and defense policy. Both secretaries report to the President and work collaboratively on issues related to national security, but they operate within their distinct areas of authority.
