This legislative proposal, titled the "Department of War Restoration Act of 2025" , aims to formally redesignate the United States Department of Defense. Its primary objective is to change the department's name to the Department of War , reflecting a historical nomenclature. Consequently, the head of this department would also be renamed from the Secretary of Defense to the Secretary of War . The bill includes a provision to ensure that all existing legal references, rules, regulations, and official papers referencing the Department of Defense or Secretary of Defense will automatically apply to the newly designated Department of War and Secretary of War, ensuring seamless transition and legal continuity.
