Summary
The U.S. government is bringing back the old-school name 'Department of War' alongside 'Department of Defense' to show we mean business when it comes to national security. Military leaders and government agencies will start using these bold new-old titles in official and public settings starting now, with no extra cost involved. This change is all about reminding the world we’re ready to fight and win, not just defend.
