Is it true that a September 2025 executive order authorized the Department of Defense to use 'Department of War' as a secondary title?
Yes. A reference article on Executive Order 14347 states that the order, signed September 5, 2025, authorized use of the secondary title "Department of War" for the Department of Defense in non-statutory communications. A Federal Register notice and a book snippet corroborate the order's date and the name's official use, though neither states the secondary-title authorization itself.
