The Office of the Administrative Assistant to the Secretary of the Army (OAA) has a primary mission, as specified in Title 10 of the United States Code and reiterated in General Orders #3 and Regulations, to provide direct support to the Secretary of the Army and other Army political appointees.[1]
Office Symbol
In accordance with Army Regulation (AR) 25–59, OAA's office symbol is SAAA.[2]
History
In 1789 Congress enacted legislation that provided for a Chief Clerk to assist the secretary of war. As the young nation grew, the duties and responsibilities for the Office of the Chief Clerk also grew. The associated organizational entities significantly expanded and the title changed. Yet, throughout this long history, the tradition of unobtrusive, dedicated service remained a constant in the office known today as the Office of the Administrative Assistant (OAA) to the Secretary of the Army. The Administrative Assistant has duties in Executive Services and Operations Support and Business Activities.[3]
Executive Services
The Executive Services function comprises special staff elements formed to assist the Administrative Assistant in carrying out Title 10 responsibilities: maintaining custody of all records, books, and papers of the Department of the Army; acting on behalf of the Secretary on administrative matters; providing advice on management issues and administrative continuity within the Army during normal changes; and serving as the primary Army point of contact for transitions between Presidential Administrations. [4]
Operations Support and Business Activities
Operations Support and Business Activities are carried out through field operating agencies that provide administrative products and services to a diverse and dynamic customer base in four distinct functional areas: Resources and Programs, U.S. Army Headquarters Services, Information Technology, and Military History. The customer base encompasses the Office of the Secretary of Defense, Defense agencies, and the Service Departments, as well as the Army’s Headquarters, Staff support, and field operating agencies. The OAA is also engaged in collateral agreements and customer provider relationships with other Federal agencies. Our geographic network of products and services includes the Pentagon, major commands within the National Capital Region, and field agencies worldwide. [5]
