S. 2685: Department of War Restoration Act of 2025

The Department of War Restoration Act of 2025 proposes to change the name of the current Department of Defense to the Department of War. This act includes several key components:

Redesignation of Department

Under this legislation, the following changes would take place:

• Department Name Change: The Department of Defense will be officially renamed the Department of War.
• Head of Department: The leader of this newly designated department will be referred to as the Secretary of War instead of the Secretary of Defense.
• Legal References: Any existing laws or regulations that mention the Department of Defense or the Secretary of Defense will automatically be updated to refer to the Department of War and the Secretary of War, respectively.

Impact and Implementation

The bill outlines a straightforward transition where the name change would not affect the existing structure, functions, or responsibilities of the department; it merely rebrands the military leadership title and the department itself. This means that the functions conducted by the department will continue as before, under a new name.

There are no provisions in the bill indicating changes to department policies, budgets, military strategy, or operational command structures. The restructuring is primarily focused on the renaming aspect.

Objective of the Legislation

The act seems to aim for a symbolic shift in the terminology used when addressing military operations and defense strategies, reflecting a potential change in cultural perception about military matters.
