In March 2025, Hegseeth even created a poll on social media to see how American voters thought about the potential name change.
President Donald Trump is planning in any step To sign an executive order That will reject the Ministry of Defense as the Ministry of War, in an attempt to generate a difficult image for the US Army, the Associated Press reported.
The plans were announced by an anonymous civil servant of the White House prior to the public announcement, planned for 5 September. However, he cannot formally change the name without legislation that should come from a request from the congress – something that initially claimed Trump that he was not aware. Before that happens, the Republican President will give the Pentagon permission to use ‘secondary titles’ so that the department can use its original name.
Former Fox News -Gastheer and Minister of Defense Pete Hegseeth apparently supports the change. He posted “Department of War” on X NEW news about the announcement.
This is not the first time Can use the title of war secretary, according to ABC News. “We’re just going to do it. I am sure the congress will continue if we need it. I don’t think we even need that,” Trump said in August 2025.
In March 2025, Hegseeth even created a poll on social media to see how American voters found about it.
History tells us that the Ministry of War was established to supervise the army, Marine and Marine Corps in 1789 when the American Constitution came into force. In 1947, two years after the Second World War ended, President Harry Truman consolidated all the armed forces under one agency, as a result of which the Ministry of Defense was established by law.
Richard Kohn, a professor in military history at the University of North Carolina in Chapel Hill, said that Truman’s decision agreed that the war was greater than just fighting. “It was clear from the Second World War that warfare would be jointly and combined, so it was simply necessary … It was already clear to some in the 1930s that you should integrate military affairs and war and preparations for war, the Ministry of Finance, the Ministry of Finance, the Ministry of Finance,” with “Intelligence,” he said.
The new Nammacht is the newest Van Hegseeth to make cultural changes to the Pentagon since he took office. The result is the removal of hundreds of books in the military academies, including literature about the Holocaust and a Maya Angelou memoirs. He also scrubbed websites in honor of contributions from women and minority groups.
While Hegseeth celebrated the potential name change, former Ohio State Senator Nina Turner proposed a different idea: Cut financing at the War Department.
