The Committee on the Militia was merged with the Committee on Military Affairs in 1858 to form the Military Affairs and Militia Committee.

NOTES: Senator Levin and Senator McCain, as Chairman and Ranking Member of the Armed Services Committee, serve as ex-officio members of all Subcommittees. On May 14, 2009, the Minority membership of the Strategic Forces Subcommittee changed when Senator David Vitter assumed responsibility as the Ranking Member of the Strategic Forces Subcommittee vice Senator Jeff Sessions. The change was necessitated because, as the newly-named Ranking Member of the Senate Committee on the Judiciary, Senator Sessions had to give up his subcommittee ranking member position, in accordance with Senate Republican Conference rules.
