President Trump signed Executive Order No. 200 on September 5, officially restoring the historical moniker “United States Department of War” as a secondary title for the Department of Defense. The order authorizes use of titles such as “Secretary of War” and “Deputy Secretary of War” in official and ceremonial contexts, and directs recommendations for permanently renaming the department to the “Department of War.” The administration frames this as a tribute to America’s military legacy and a demonstration of strength and resolve in the face of global threats. Critics argue that the change symbolizes a more aggressive posture and raises questions about the implication of deterrence versus diplomacy.
