United States. Adjutant-General's Office

The Continental Congress on June 17, 1775, appointed an Adjutant General of the Continental Army. After 1783 no further provision was made for such an officer until an act of March 5, 1792, provided for an adjutant, who was also to do the work of inspector. An act of March 3, 1813, established an Adjutant General's Department and an Inspector General's Department which were united the following July under one head, the Adjutant and Inspector General. Separate heads for the two Departments were provided for by an act of March 2, 1821.

Except for the brief period 1904-7, The Adjutant General's Office (AGO) has been in continuous existance since 1821. In April 1904 the AGO and the Record and Pension Office of the War Department were united to form the Military Secretary's Office, but The Adjutant General was not included in this union of the two offices. In March 1907 the Congress restored the AGO.
