US President Donald Trump signed an executive order tonight that renames the Department of Defense to the "War Department", returning to the name it had until after World War II.

Trump signed the order in an Oval Office ceremony. It is the latest name change in the US military, which has included his decision to hold a military parade in downtown Washington and to restore the names of military bases that were changed after anti-racism protests in 2020.

Department name changes are rare and require approval from Congress, where Republicans have a majority and have shown no intention of opposing Trump's initiatives.

The Department of Defense, often referred to as the "Pentagon" because of the shape of its building in Washington, D.C., was called the "War Department" until 1949. Historians explain that the name was changed after World War II to reflect the U.S. commitment to preventing conflict, especially in the age of nuclear weapons.

President Trump first mentioned the idea of ​​restoring the name in June, suggesting that the previous change was made for "political" reasons.

Reverting this more bellicose name could cost the government tens of millions of dollars, due to the need to replace the logo and inscriptions on military buildings and bases around the world.

Earlier this year, Hegseth canceled President Joe Biden's effort to rename nine U.S. military bases named after Confederate leaders, a process that was expected to cost $39 million.
