A political appointee responsible for the United States Department of Defense's Military Health System (), the ASD(HA) is an (Executive Service Level IV ) official. He or she is nominated by the President of the United States, and confirmed by the United States Senate.
==History==
This position was originally established in 1949 as the ''Chairman, Armed Forces Medical Policy Council.'' Reorganization Plan No. 6 (1953) abolished the council and transferred its functions to a new position, the ''Assistant Secretary of Defense (Health Affairs)''. In August 1953, some functions of this position were transferred to the ''Assistant Secretary of Defense (Manpower)'', and the title was changed to ''Assistant Secretary of Defense (Health and Medical)''.〔
The position was abolished completely on January 31, 1961, and for the remainder of the decade, all of its functions were vested in the ''Assistant Secretary of Defense (Manpower)''. However, Congress authorized a permanent assistant secretary position for health affairs in November 1969 (P.L. 91-121). The post was then re-established as ''Assistant Secretary of Defense (Health and Environment)'' in June 1970 by Defense Directive 5136.1. In January 1976, the position was re-designated ''Assistant Secretary of Defense (Health Affairs)'', a title that has endured to the present day.〔
