"President Donald Trump recently said defence is too defensive' as the US wants to be offensive too'. United States President Donald Trump is due to rename the Department of Defense as the Department of War in a bid to rebrand the government agency with a more forceful image. The name change is expected to be implemented in an executive order on Friday, according to The Associated Press news agency, quoting White House officials familiar with the rebranding effort."
"President Trump had said a name change would remind people of past US military victories in World War I and World War II, when the US was an emerging superpower. Everybody likes that we had an unbelievable history of victory when it was Department of War, he told reporters late last month. Then we changed it to Department of Defense, he said."
President Trump intends to rename the Department of Defense as the Department of War via executive order, aiming to give the agency a more forceful image. White House officials told The Associated Press the change will be implemented Friday, with the Department of War serving as a secondary name until Congress can act. Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth posted "DEPARTMENT OF WAR" on social media. Trump linked the name change to past US military victories in World War I and World War II. The department originally bore the Department of War name from 1789 until post-World War II reorganizations in 1945–1947.
