Pentagon Name Change Officially Moves to Congress, Leaving Taxpayers on the Hook for a Bill That Could Top $125 Million ...Middle East

The Pentagon’s name change to the Department of War is now one step closer to becoming official, and taxpayers could be stuck with a bill that might climb past $125 million. On June 5, 2026, Republicans on the House Armed Services Committee voted along party lines to include an amendment in the annual defense policy bill that would legally rename the Department of Defense to the Department of War, a move pushed by Secretary of War Pete Hegseth.

Rep. Ronny Jackson, who introduced the amendment, argued that the name change would send a strong message to global adversaries. According to The Hill, during the late-night debate, Jackson held up a mock-up of the Pentagon’s new logo and told fellow lawmakers, “Now that you can see firsthand how beautiful it actually is, you will have no choice, but to vote for this amendment.”
