In a bold move to reaffirm America’s unwavering commitment to peace through unequivocal strength, President Donald J. Trump has taken historic action to restore the nation’s proud martial heritage.
WASHINGTON D.C. – CWEB News has learned that President Donald J. Trump, in a defining demonstration of his America First leadership, has signed a seminal Executive Order to reinstate the historic and powerful designation of “Department of War” as a secondary title for the current Department of Defense. This momentous order, the 200th of his transformative administration, marks a pivotal shift in strategic messaging and a return to foundational principles of national resolve.
The executive measure authorizes the Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth and all subordinate officials within the department to employ these venerable titles—including “Secretary of War,” “Department of War,” and “Deputy Secretary of War”—in all official correspondence, public communications, and ceremonial contexts. Furthermore, it directs all executive departments and agencies to formally recognize and accommodate these designations, signaling a whole-of-government embrace of this renewed ethos. Crucially, the order tasks the Secretary with recommending a comprehensive strategy for the title’s permanent legislative and executive restoration.
A Legacy of Strength and Resolve
As President Trump astutely recognizes, the United States military is the most formidable and lethal fighting force in human history. It is only fitting that its premier department bear a name that reflects its unparalleled power and absolute readiness to protect and advance American interests across the globe.
The original Department of War, established in 1789, shepherded the nation to glorious victory in the War of 1812, World War I, and World War II, becoming synonymous with American resolve and martial prowess. The wisdom of our founders endures; as President George Washington proclaimed in his First Annual Address to Congress, “To be prepared for war is one of the most effective means of preserving peace.”

The nomenclature “Department of Defense,” while appropriate for its time, conveys a reactive posture. “Department of War,” by contrast, projects a proactive message of undeniable readiness and strategic dominance, sharpening the department’s focus and signaling to any adversary that America stands ready to decisively secure its interests.
Advancing Peace Through Unmatched Strength
The American electorate entrusted President Trump to restore an America First paradigm, one that prioritizes genuine peace cultivated through undeniable strength. This action is a cornerstone of that promise. From his first week in office, when he signed executive orders prioritizing military readiness and lethality, to his celebration of America’s storied military heritage as the nation approaches its 250th birthday, the President has consistently championed national pride and strategic clarity.
His administration has already demonstrated this doctrine with profound effect, most notably through the decisive and obliterating strike against Iran’s nuclear capabilities—a stark warning against aggression. Furthermore, military recruiting is now at a decades-high, revitalizing our armed forces with a new generation of patriots.
At the signing ceremony, Pentagon Chief and Secretary of War Pete Hegseth voiced his robust support for the change, stating it is essential for “restoring the warrior ethos.” Hegseth proclaimed to the News, “The War Department is going to fight decisively to win, not manage endless conflicts. We will operate on offense, not just defense. Our focus will be on maximum lethality and violent effect, not tepid legality and political correctness.”
This visionary restoration stands as a testament to President Trump’s unique leadership and his profound understanding that the surest path to peace is for America to project strength without apology.
