On Friday, US President Donald Trump signed an executive order that causes the Defense Ministry to be known as the Ministry of War.
This step restores the name of the agency, which took place in the 1940s, and, in accordance with the text of the order noticed by the BBC, the goal is “the power of the project and determination”.
The Department will initially use a new name as a “secondary title”, while the administration requires Congress approval to make changes permanent.
The White House does not yet say how much rebranding will cost, but US media awaits price billion for major repairs of hundreds of agencies, emblems, email address addresses and forms.
The Ministry of Defense (DOD), which controls the US Armed Forces, is the successor of the military department, which was first established as an agency at the cabinet level in 1789 and existed until 1947.
The executive order states: “The name” War Department “conveys a stronger message of readiness and determination compared to the” Ministry of Defense “, which emphasizes only defensive opportunities”.
“I think this is a much more suitable name, in the light of where the world is now,” Trump said in an oval office on Friday, adding that “he sends a victory message.”
The order states that the defense secretary Pete Hegset will be known as a military secretary. He instructs him to recommend and include legislative and executive actions to move to the constant renaming of the department.
Speaking during the signing, Hegset said that “this change is not only in renaming, but about restoration,” adding “words of matter”.
“We are going to be offended, not just to defense. The maximum mortality, not reliable legality. A violent effect, not politically correct,” he said. “We are going to raise warriors, not just defenders.”
The Pentagon’s Web -Sea changed to war.Gov at the end of Friday, as well as the “Ministry of Military War”.
X/PetehegsethThe responsibility for the creation of the executive departments is resting with the US Congress.
In August, Trump told reporters that he was convinced that Congress would support the idea – if their support would be needed.
Democratic Senator Andy Kim from New Jersey stated that renaming was a children’s idea, adding: “Americans want to prevent wars rather than overcome them.”
The Department of the War was established by George Washington, but after the Second World War it was restored.
Trump has repeatedly swimming the idea of changing the name, claiming that the United States has an “incredible victory story” in both world wars under the previous name.
Trump and Hegset sought to reorient the “Warriors” and “Etos Warrior” department.
They claim that the Pentagon has become too focused on diversity, justice programs and inclusion and “woken ideology”.
On Thursday, Trump reduced proposals for the search for the Nobel Peace Prize.
“All I can do is put out wars,” he said CBS News, an American partner of the BBC. “I’m not looking for attention. I just want to save life.”
The renaming of the Department marks the 200th executive order of the President since he has taken office.
Although this plan was long expected, it goes on the heels of China, representing a number of new weapons, drones and other military equipment on a massive parade, which is treated as a clear US message and its ally.
