History

Quiñones Building, the ministry's headquarters.

In 1821, José de San Martín created three ministries of the Protectorate of Peru: those of Finance (Hacienda), War and Navy (Guerra y Marina) and Foreign Affairs (Relaciones Exteriores). They were again reestablished in 1844 after a series of changes in government.[1]

On March 21, 1824, Simón Bolívar issued a decree in Trujillo reducing the three ministries to a single one, which would become the General Secretariat of Affairs of the Peruvian Republic (Script error: No such module "Lang".), under Colonel José Gabriel Pérez. However, shortly thereafter, the Governing Junta repealed the decree, reestablishing the three ministries.[2]

On October 13, 1920, during the second government of President Augusto B. Leguía, the Ministry of War and Navy was separated into two ministries through law N° 4003. The Navy Aviator Corps (Template:Langx) was created the same year as part of the Peruvian Navy, with the Navy ministry being reorganised as the Ministry of Navy and Aviation (Template:Langx), combining both military entities until 1941, when the Ministry of Aviation (also known as the "Ministry of Aeronautics" Template:Langx)[3] was created.[4]

The Ministry of Defence was created by Law No. 24654 on 1 April 1987, during the government of President Alan García. It absorbed the aforementioned Ministries of War, Navy and Aeronautics as well as the Joint Command of the Armed Forces and the National Defence Secretariat.[5]

Organisation

The ministry is organised as follows:

  • Secretaría General (General Secretariat)
  • Viceministerio de Asuntos Administrativos y Económicos (Viceministry of Administrative and Economic Matters)
  • Viceministerio de Asuntos Logísticos y de Personal (Viceministry of Logistics and Personnel Matters)
  • Dirección Nacional de Política y Estrategia (National Directorate of Politics and Strategy)
  • Comando Conjunto de las Fuerzas Armadas (Joint Command of the Armed Forces)
  • Ejército del Perú (Peruvian Army)
