Dept. of Defense Support to Foreign Disaster Relief - Department of Defense

The United States Department of State is the US equivalent to the foreign
ministries of other countries. The Department was crated in 1789 and was the
first executive department established. The Department operates the diplomatic
missions of the United States abroad and is responsible for implementing US foreign
policy and diplomacy efforts.
The collection of publications of the US Department of State contains federal budget
proposals, reports on the status of troops around the world, economic status reports
on the nation's trading partners, summaries of urgent matters of national security,
and more. These publications reflect the Department's responsibilities of protecting
and assisting US citizens living or traveling abroad, assisting US businesses in the
international marketplace, coordinating and providing support for international
activities of other US agencies, and keeping the public informed about US foreign
policy and relations with other countries.
