Peace Through Strength Act of 2025

This bill would rename the Department of Defense as the Department of War and the Secretary of Defense as the Secretary of War throughout the United States Code. Existing laws, rules, regulations, and official papers that mention the Department of Defense would be treated as referring to the Department of War. Lower-ranking officials in the department could use matching titles, such as Deputy Secretary of War. The bill also states Congress's view that the department should again be known by the name it had when created in 1789, and it would be carried out subject to available funding.
