Franklin D. Roosevelt took the future of the nation when passing executive orders, and Executive Order No. 9066 is no different. He granted his Secretary of War, Military Commander, and other military officials under those the ability to maintain a residence in certain areas, foreign and local, for troops. These residences were equipped with adequate supplies to accomodate large numbers of troops. To maintain order, the officials also had the right to use Federal Troops or other local agencies. FDR also authorized and directed the aid of the military residents by Federal and independent agencies by providing food, transportation, hospitalization, and the use of land. To make sure the order would last, it also included parts that declared its superior status to other orders or proclamations. It did not nullify the things that had come before it, but took the precedence when matters of control over "alien enemies" interfered with the military. It did not interfere with Executive Order 8972 or the work of the FBI.
