"Donald Trump is expected to sign an executive order on Friday authorizing the US Department of Defense to rebrand itself as the department of war, the White House said, as part of an attempt to formalize the name change without an act of Congress. The order will designate department of war as a secondary title, an administration official said, as a way to get around the need for congressional approval to formally rename a federal agency."
"But the order will instruct the rest of the executive branch to use the department of war name in internal and external communications, and allows the defense secretary Pete Hegseth and other officials to use secretary of war as official titles. The order seemingly in recognition of the limitation of the executive action alone also directs Hegseth to recommend potential legislative moves the administration could take to permanently rename the defense department."
President Donald Trump is expected to sign an executive order authorizing the Department of Defense to rebrand itself as the Department of War, designating that title as a secondary name. The order will instruct executive-branch agencies to use the Department of War name in internal and external communications and will allow Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth and other officials to use the title secretary of war. The order directs Hegseth to recommend potential legislative steps to permanently rename the department. Trump and Hegseth say the older name projects a more aggressive, victorious image and the change echoes the pre-1949 Department of War.
