At first, he was responsible for all military affairs, including <a href="/wiki/United_States_Navy" title="United States Navy">naval affairs</a>. In 1798, the <a href="/wiki/United_States_Secretary_of_the_Navy" title="United States Secretary of the Navy">secretary of the Navy</a> was created by statute, and the scope of responsibility for this office was reduced to the affairs of the <a href="/wiki/United_States_Army" title="United States Army">United States Army</a>.
