Department of War Restoration Act of 2025
This bill (S 2685) simply renames the Department of Defense to the "Department of War" and updates all references to the department and its leader (Secretary of Defense to Secretary of War) in existing laws and documents. It does not change any policies, funding, or responsibilities of the department. The bill affects only the department's administrative name and official references, not any actual operations or affected individuals. It is purely a procedural renaming with no substantive policy changes.
