Minister of State for Defence
The Ministry of Defence is headed by the Minister of State for Defence who is responsible to the President and Commander in Chief for the formulation and conduct of defence policy.
The Principal Advisers
The Defence Ministry has two principal advisers: One Military, the Chief of General Staff (CGS), and one civilian, the Permanent Secretary. Neither of these is subordinate to the other. They share responsibility for much of the Ministry's business, reflecting the input that both military and civilian personnel make to policy, financial, administrative and operational matters.
The CGS is the professional head of the Armed Forces and the principal military adviser to the Minister and the C in C. As the Government's principal civilian adviser on Defence, the Permanent Secretary has primary responsibility for policy, finance and administration in the Ministry. As MOSD's Principal Accounting Officer, the Permanent Secretary is also personally accountable to Parliament for the expenditure of all public money provided for defence purposes.
