President Donald Trump has signed an executive order to rename the Pentagon—officially the Department of Defense—as the “Department of War”.
🛡️ What’s Changing
• The name “Department of War” will now be used as a secondary title across official communications, signage, and ceremonial contexts.
• The Secretary of Defense, Pete Hegseth, will be referred to as “Secretary of War”, and the Pentagon’s public affairs room will be renamed the “War Annex”.
• Trump cited America’s military victories under the original name—used until 1949—as part of a broader push to restore a “warrior ethos”.
⚖️ What’s Next
• Making the change permanent would require Congressional approval, but the executive order allows immediate use of the new title within the executive branch.
Trump’s move signals a shift in tone—emphasizing strength, offense, and historical legacy. If you want help crafting messaging around this for outreach, advocacy, or commentary, I can help tailor it.
