The Pentagon is the headquarters of the United States Department of Defense (DoD), a federal executive department established in 1947 to coordinate and supervise all U.S. Armed Forces (Army, Navy, Marines, Air Force, Space Force, and Coast Guard). Located in Arlington County, Virginia, the distinctive five-sided building was constructed between 1941–1943 during World War II and employs approximately 23,000 military and civilian personnel. The Pentagon's stated mission is to provide military forces to deter war and ensure national security, with a FY2024 budget of $842 billion. Since February 2026, the Pentagon has overseen the Presidential Unsealing and Reporting System for UAP Encounters (PURSUE), a major interagency disclosure initiative authorized by the Trump administration that has released over 160 declassified Unidentified Anomalous Phenomena files from the FBI, military, NASA, and State Department archives spanning from 1947 to recent years.
