Congress specifies broad, enduring roles for each U.S. military Service, bearing respective operational mediums in mind: land for the Army; sea for the Navy, Marine Corps, and Coast Guard; air for the Air Force. Congress also issues instructions to U.S. Special Operations Command. The Secretary of Defense, with presidential approval, assigns primary and collateral functions that amplify those statutory responsibilities. The President and Secretary of Defense prescribe operational missions for each U.S. unified and specified command1 (operations by U.S. Central Command to oust Iraqi invaders from Kuwait in 1990-91 and provide humanitarian assistance to Kurds immediately thereafter illustrate how rapidly missions may change compared with durable roles and functions).
