Both Trump and Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth have previously indicated that they wanted to see the original name restored.
The commander-in-chief will formally reinstate the Department of War as the agency’s name on Friday, a source told Fox News Digital.
This order would roll it out as a secondary title for the Department of Defense.
It would also see former Fox host Pete Hegseth now referred to as the Secretary of War – who will be instructed to propose actions to make the change permanent.
The shift would require changes to public-facing websites and signs at the Pentagon.
Its public affairs briefing room will also be renamed to the “Pentagon War Annex”, a White House official said.
Trump has already hinted a change of branding at the Pentagon might be on the horizon.
“Everybody likes that we had an unbelievable history of victory when it was Department of War,” he said on August 25.
“Then we changed it to Department of Defense.”
