The bill requires the Department of Defense to pay for renaming costs from its travel budget.
The Department of Defense’s Cost of ‘War’ Act of 2025 mandates that the Secretary of Defense cover costs related to renaming the Department of Defense to the Department of War by reallocating funds from the travel budget. If insufficient, funds from the military departments' travel budgets will be used. The bill also requires a report to Congress on the total costs within a year of enactment. The renaming costs include changes to physical signage, websites, stationary, printed media, and digital media owned or operated by the U.S. government.
