(The Center Square) – What’s in a name? Military victories, according to the Trump administration.

The Department of Defense is reverting to its old name – the Department of War – per the president’s latest executive order. The department previously held the title from 1789 until 1947, and accrued many military successes over that period, most notably in World War I and World War II.

“Our nation won some of its greatest military victories under the direction of a secretary of war operating within a Department of War,” said White House Staff Secretary Will Scharf.

The order reinstates that name.
