USA:s arméminister, Secretary of the Army (förkortat SA eller SECARMY), är chef för USA:s armé, som är en del av USA:s försvarsdepartement. Arméministern, som måste vara en civilist, utnämns av presidenten med senatens råd och samtycke. Arméministern är underställd försvarsministern och har till uppgift att leda, organisera och administrera armédepartementet (Department of the Army) som omfattar den reguljära armén på aktiv stat, reservstyrkor, samt arménationalgardet.[1]
Christine Wormuth innehar befattningen sedan 28 maj 2021 och är den första kvinnan på posten.[2]
Ämbetsuppgifter
Arméministern har sitt säte i försvarshögkvarteret Pentagon. Närmast ministern finns en civil understatssekreterare (engelska: Under Secretary of the Army) och ministerns kansli (Office of the Secretary of the Army), arméstabschefen, vice arméstabschefen (engelska: Vice Chief of Staff of the Army) samt arméstaben (engelska: The Army Staff).[3][4][5][6][7][8]
Förutom de roller som arméministern tilldelats av kongressen genom lag, eller i utförande av funktioner föreskrivna av försvarsministern eller presidenten; avträder arméministern armédepartementets certifierat stridsberedda förband till militärbefälhavarna på försvarsministerns befallning. Arméministern, liksom arméstabschefen, saknar operativa befogenheter över arméförbanden när de är tilldelade militärbefälhavare, men arméministern behåller ständigt administrativa befogenheter över arméförbanden.[9]
Uniform Code of Military Justice ger arméministern en viktig roll i det militära rättssystemet för arméns del.
Flygvapenministern och marinministern har motsvarande ansvar och befogenheter som arméministern har för flygvapnet och rymdstyrkan respektive flottan och marinkåren.[10][11]
Historik
Ämbetet inrättades 1947 som en följd av 1947 års nationella säkerhetsakt. Innan 1947 var krigsministern chef för armén. Krigsministern var sedan 1789 medlem av kabinettet. Arméministern var medlem av kabinettet och nationella säkerhetsrådet mellan 1947 och 1949.
