	SecDef Histories - Neil McElroy
		In February 1958 he authorized the Air Force to begin development of the Minuteman, a solid-fuel ICBM to be deployed in hardened underground silos, with operational status expected in the early 1960s.
		The Defense Reorganization Act of 1958 significantly influenced the evolution of DoD organization and the role of the secretary.
		McElroy considered the most important aspects of the 1958 reorganization to be the replacement of service executive agents by the JCS in directing the unified commands and the creation of a strong director of defense research and engineering.

	The Goldwater-Nichols Act Of 1986: Resurgence In Defense Reform And The Legacy
		Reorganization Plan No. 6 gave the JCS Chairman responsibility for selecting the Director of the Joint Staff, subject to Secretary of Defense approval, and authority to both manage the Joint Staff and approve those officers selected by the other service chiefs to serve on the Joint Staff.
		THE DEFENSE REORGANIZATION ACT OF 1958 During the mid-1950's, new tensions were generated within the defense establishment as a result of radical changes in warfare brought on by scientific and technological advances and the rising costs of new weapon systems.
		Moreover, the chairman's previously unencumbered authority to manage the joint staff was qualified in the 1958 act by the phrase `on behalf of the Joint Chiefs of Staffs' [16] Second, he tried to reduce the JCS workload by legislation that would shift much of their service-specific administrative duties to their vice chiefs.

		The pivotal reorganization, championed by President Dwight D. Eisenhower in his second term, occurred in 1958 when the military departments were removed from the operational chain of command.
		This landmark defense reorganization was not unexpected from a soldier-statesman with an extraordinarily distinguished military career.
		The 1958 act stipulated that operational command would be directed from the President to the Secretary of Defense through the Joint Chiefs (as an advisory conduit) and then to the unified and specified commands.

		The task force reported in December 1960: In line with the centralizing trend that had begun with the Defense Reorganization Act of 1958, and which was to be accelerated during the Kennedy Administration, the report made many recommendations directed toward streamlining the military intelligence system in order to modernize it.
		The Defense Intelligence Agency's first major intelligence test came in October 1962 when the Soviet missiles were detected in Cuba and the prospect of nuclear war brought fear to Americans.
		He believed that the DIA was the chief line of intelligence defense, and that the Agency's message had to be simple: the Arabs are going to attack or not attack; the Russians are coming or not coming; or the Chinese, or whoever.

		Jointness was tightened further by the Goldwater-Nichols Act of 1986, which gave theater CINCs firm control over the deploying forces of all services.
