interesting, had to look it up and you are half correct.
it still is officially the DoD, although there was an executive order stating it can legally be referenced as the DoW too
Sec. 2. Implementation. (a) The Secretary of Defense is authorized the use of this additional secondary title — the Secretary of War — and may be recognized by that title in official correspondence, public communications, ceremonial contexts, and non-statutory documents within the executive branch.
The President can issue rules, regulations, and instructions (called executive orders), which have the binding force of lawupon federal agencies but do not require approval of the United States Congress. Executive orders are subject to judicial review and interpretation.
DoW is still not the legal name. All they did was change a plaque and some letterhead, not the law dictating it’s existence.

The executive has no actual authority to change the name of a department. So I am fully correct.
you are half correct because department of war is now the legal name the department of defense can also go by
Executive orders don’t make law.
half right again, lmao
