A Ministry of War or Ministry for War is an administrative, supply and services agency of an army, as opposed to the entire military establishment. Both Mexico and Brazil both still maintain a War Department for the support of their armies. Ministries of War were generally replaced by a unified Ministry of Defense to support all military services.
