White House Watch

Trump To Give Pentagon New Name: Reports

Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth took to social media Thursday and appeared to confirm that the Department of Defense will soon be renamed.

Hegseth reposted Fox News’ tweet Thursday announcing that the White House will rename the Department of Defense as the Department of War. President Donald Trump will reportedly sign an executive order Friday restoring the “Department of War” label to the Pentagon, a return to the agency’s historic name, Fox News Digital reported.

The order directs that the Department of Defense use “Department of War” as a secondary title, with Hegseth assuming the designation “Secretary of War.” A White House official told Fox News Thursday that Trump will roll out the change as part of his administration’s broader “warrior ethos” campaign aimed at reshaping the culture of the armed forces.
