The National Security Act of 1947 centralized command and promoted intelligence sharing between institutions by establishing a Secretary of Defense, Joint Chiefs of Staff, Director of Central Intelligence, and NSC. The President, Secretary of State, Secretary of Defense, Secretary of the Army, Secretary of the Navy, Secretary of the Air Force, and Chairman of the National Security Resources Board composed the original statutory members of the NSC. The President was also authorized to designate other specified officials to the NSC. The NSC staff, which is separate from â€Å"the Council,† comprises politically appointed individuals and civil servants organized in specialized directorates. The primary function of the NSC is to advise the President on â€Å"domestic, foreign, and military policies relating to the national security.† The NSC acts as a coordinator between departments and agencies across government, and relies on accurate and insightful reports from them to develop national security policy recommendations for the President. The NSC is unique because it both consumes intelligence to make recommendations to the President, and guides intelligence activities by coordinating policies across government. In 1949, the NSC reorganized to incorporate the Vice President, Secretary of the Treasury, and Joint Chiefs of Staff, as well as remove the Secretaries of the Army, Navy, and Air Force from the Council.
