What are the rules for referring to a ministry (or any other department, organisation, etc) of a specific country? I found both on Google. Are the US and UK exceptions (as it's the US Ministry of Defence)?

1Thanks. Very informative examples. Just, sometimes, too technical for non-native English speakers. – Ben Feb 03 '19 at 11:35

@Ben Welcome to EL&U, but the charter of this site is to serve linguists, etymologists, and serious English language enthusiasts, so technical answers should not be surprising. There is a separate, sister site for English Language Learners which may interest you; see e.g. Should I say “the park sitting area” or “the park's sitting area”? or Should I use “vehicle” or “vehicle's”? – choster Feb 06 '19 at 01:59
