This particular system of civilian military leadership has been around in the United States since the AOTC/Constitution were ratified.

For instance, the State Dept. needs to get the hell out of the way when diplomacy goes into the aggression stage. Let the military take the diplomatic role then, after the killing and breaking of people/things etc..., the State Dept. can assume control again.
