Department of War Restoration Act of 2025

This bill (HR 5080) is purely procedural - it changes the name of the Department of Defense to "Department of War" and the Secretary of Defense to "Secretary of War" for all existing legal references. It does not alter military operations, funding, or policy; it only updates terminology in laws, regulations, and official documents. The bill directly affects how federal agencies and documents refer to the military department but has no impact on actual defense functions or the public. It is a symbolic renaming with no concrete policy changes.
