Department of the Defense Agency Financial Report for Fiscal Year 2009

Abstract

The mission of the Department of Defense (DoD) is to provide the military forces needed to deter war and to protect the security of our country. One of the core responsibilities of the U.S. government is to protect the life and liberty of the American people or, as phrased in the Constitution, to "provide for the common defense." Today's Department of Defense plays a critical role in defending and advancing the safety and security of American citizens and interests. Whether in a period of peace or war, the U.S. Armed Forces have prepared for the unexpected, deterred aggression, responded to attack, rebuilt nations emerging from the ravages of conflict, and helped to create and maintain a stable and resilient international system.
