The Ministry of War (also commonly translated as the "Military Ministry" (Arabic: وزارة الحربية) or Board)[1][2] was created 1744 to unify the Armed Forces of Saudi Arabia under one administrative structure.
In 1933 it was renamed as the "Defense Agency" under the Ministry of Finance and headed by a Director-General.
A few years later, the Agency was renamed as the Ministry of Defense.
