United States House Committee On Armed Services





HISTORY

The Armed Services Committee was created by the Legislative Reorganization Act of 1946, which consolidated the functions of two predecessor committees: the Committee on Military Affairs and the '''Committee on Naval Affairs''', which were established as standing committees in 1822. Another predecessor, the '''Committee on the Militia''', was created in 1835 and existed until 1911 when it was abolished and its jurisdiction transferred to the Committee on Military Affairs.
