War Department: President Trump renames the Department of Defense

President Donald Trump signed an executive order in the Oval Office on Friday, directing the Pentagon to use the historic title "Department of War."

The move is largely symbolic, as Congress must pass legislation to formally rename a federal agency.

Instead, the order will install "Department of War" as a secondary name. In practice, a "secondary title" means the Pentagon can start putting the "Department of War" label on press releases, signage, letterheads and other communications, but it won’t change the agency’s legal standing.

According to a White House fact sheet, Trump’s order will: Direct the Pentagon to use "Department of War" as a secondary title, allow Hegseth to be referred to as "Secretary of War" alongside his current title, and require the name and titles to appear in all official internal and external communications.

The Department of War was created in 1789 to oversee the Army, while the Navy and other branches operated separately. After World War II, lawmakers moved to unify the services under one structure, renaming the agency the Department of Defense in 1949.
