Will the name of the US Department of Defense change to the Department of War?

The administration of US President Donald Trump has begun searching for possibilities to rename the US Department of Defense to the War Department. The Wall Street Journal (WSJ) reported this, citing its sources.

It was reported that in the first weeks, Trump worked on "legislative proposals" to restore the Pentagon's previous name and reform its leadership position in the event of re-election. But since this decision had to be approved by Congress, the White House was forced to look for practical ways and alternative strategies.

According to the source, the initiative aims to change the Pentagon's strategic identity and define its status within the general security system more clearly. Similar name changes were discussed in the previous Trump administration, but were not officially implemented.

Recall that the War Department existed in the United States from 1789 to 1947, and it remained in history as an important system that laid the foundation for the activities of the Ministry of Defense during these years. Therefore, it is emphasized that the restoration of the name may also have administrative significance.

Moreover, political analysts are considering how this initiative will be perceived by Americans, how it will be viewed by Congress, and how it will affect international security. On social networks, extensive discussions are being held on this topic, and attention is being drawn to the possibility of new views emerging in US military policy.
