 Trump to Rename Department of Defense as "Department of War"


President Donald Trump is set to sign an executive order on Friday to rename the Department of Defense the "Department of War," a White House official announced Thursday.

The executive order will authorize Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth and department officials to use titles such as "Secretary of War," "Department of War," and "Deputy Secretary of War" in official correspondence and public communications, according to a White House fact sheet.

The renaming of the Department of Defense is the latest in these efforts to reshape federal institutions.
