Standing committee of the U.S. House of Representatives
The Armed Services Committee has jurisdiction over defense policy generally, ongoing military operations, the organization and reform of the Department of Defense and Department of Energy, counter-drug programs, acquisition and industrial base policy, technology transfer and export controls, joint interoperability, the Cooperative Threat Reduction program, Department of Energy nonproliferation programs, and detainee affairs and policy.[ 2]
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.[ 3]
