The Pentagon has asked Congress to codify its “Department of War” renaming and requested nearly $52 million to complete the name change.
According to Military Times, the Congressional Budget Office has projected the rebrand could cost taxpayers up to $125 million.

From The Hill:
The Pentagon, in its legislative proposal, said nearly $52 million is set to be spent, with around $3.5 million for the military department, $3 million for Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth’s office and Washington Headquarters Services, $400,000 for the Joint Staff, Combatant Commands and National and the largest share of $44.6 million for the Defense Agencies and department’s field activities
The request would make around 7,600 changes to the federal law, including officially changing the Department of Defense to the Department of War, Secretary of Defense to Secretary of War, among other updates. It follows Trump’s executive order from last September.
$52 million dollars would cover a full year of child care for over 5,000 American families.
Instead, @POTUS wants to spend it on renaming the Department of Defense.#MAGA https://t.co/Jg5AeYjnOa
