    Only Congress can change the name of the Department of Defense, and not only has it not passed any legislation to do so, but the most National Defense Authorization Act, which was passed after Trump’s executive order, only mentions the “Department of Defense” and never the “Department of War”.

    So, no, there is not officially a Department of War, there continues to only officially be a Department of Defense.
