Plain-English Summary
This bill would rename the Department of Defense back to the Department of War, changing the official name of the agency that oversees the military and national defense operations. The change is primarily symbolic, affecting how the department is officially called rather than changing what it actually does or how it operates. The proposal would impact military personnel, defense contractors, and government employees who work within the department, though their day-to-day responsibilities would remain the same.
