The Department of Defense is much broader and its missions are more encompassing. While many missions and objectives overlap, there is still a necessity to recognize important differences that are due to missions and the capabilities of each organization respectively. Then the needs of the Army in particular can be balanced off against the force as a whole. In this way, they can complement and not compete with each other.
