Peace Through Strength Act of 2025
HR 5522, the Peace Through Strength Act of 2025, proposes renaming the Department of Defense to the Department of War and the Secretary of Defense to Secretary of War in all federal laws, regulations, and official documents. The bill directs replacing every reference to "Department of Defense" and "Secretary of Defense" with the new titles throughout U.S. Code and related government materials. This is a purely procedural change with no effect on military operations, funding, or policy. The bill does not alter the department's functions or responsibilities, only its official name and title.
