"This name sharpens the Department's focus on our own national interest and our adversaries' focus on our willingness and availability to wage war to secure what is ours,"
"political theater over responsible governance,"
"The Department of War is aggressively implementing the name change directed by President Trump, and is making the name permanent,"
President Donald Trump issued an executive order directing executive branch agencies to use the name "Department of War" instead of the Department of Defense. Only a bill passed by Congress and signed into law can make the name change official. The order states the name sharpens focus on national interest and signals willingness to wage war to secure American interests. The renaming does not affect the department’s mission, makeup, or strategies. Multiple sources estimate the rebranding could cost up to $2 billion for signage, letterheads, employee badges, website and internal software changes, and other administrative expenses. Pentagon spokesman Sean Parnell said the Department of War is implementing the change.
