Department of Veterans Affairs. The Department of Veterans Affairs (VA), established as an independent agency under the President by Executive Order 5398 of July 21, 1930, was elevated to Cabinet level on March 15, 1989 (Public Law 100-527).
During World War I, the War Department was given supervision over the newly created National Guard, and under the National Defense Act of 1916, the officersâ reserve corps was created within the department. This act also established the office of Assistant Secretary of War to coordinate the procurement of munitions.he NME was renamed the Department of Defense (DoD) in 1949. In the succeeding years of the Cold War, the DoD (commonly referred to as the Pentagon) grew into the largest of all U.S. governmental institutions as American military operations became tantamount in U.S.-Soviet jockeying for international dominance.
