The White House Representative confirmed Fox News on Thursday that Trump will declare a change of name on Friday. According to the White House newsletter, the Decree provides for the use of the “Ministry of War” as a minor name of the Ministry of Defense, as well as terms such as “Minister of War” for Hegset.
The Decree also instructs Hegset to propose legislative and enforcement measures to change the name for the “US Department of War” forever.
According to the White House Representative, the execution of the decree will require changes on the sites available to the public and signboards in the Pentagon offices, including the renaming of a public relations room. According to the White House representative, other long -term projects are also being prepared.
Trump has recently made it clear that changing the name of the department is inevitable.
Reference: The US Department of War (United States Department of War) was established in 1789 and was responsible for the leadership of the Land Forces, as well as coordination of military campaigns.
In 1947, after the Second World War, a large -scale reorganization of the US Armed Forces was passed as a result of the National Security Act. The Ministry of War was disbanded and its functions were transferred to the newly created Ministry of Defense. The main purpose of renaming was to emphasize the defensive nature of the USA in the post -war world.
