United States Department of State
The United States Department of State (DOS) is an executive department of the federal government. It administers most of the United States diplomatic apparatus, including the Foreign Service, and advises the executive and legislative branches on diplomatic matters.
Composition
The department is led by a secretary, deputy secretary, and deputy secretary for Management and Resources. (The final position is analogous to a COO for DOS.) Several undersecretaries and assistant secretaries oversee offices.
USAID reports directly to the secretary.
The political bureaus report to the undersecretary for Political Affairs:

These agencies report to the undersecretary for Public Diplomacy and Public Affairs:

Most undersecretaries have a deputy undersecretary and one or more assistant secretaries. Generally, the DOS abbreviates names of bureaus rather than secretary positions.
