The Pentagon has formally asked Congress to rename the Department of Defense to the 'Department of War,' following an executive order issued by President Trump last September. The change is estimated to cost approximately $52 million, according to The Hill. If approved, the name would revert to the original title used before the department was renamed in 1949.
