  • Trump stated that the new name sends a message of "victory and strength" to the world and deemed it "much more appropriate" given current global challenges.
  • Secretary of War Pete Hegseth emphasized that this name change is about restoring the "warrior ethos" to the military and not simply renaming.
  • This change reflects a desire to restore older military traditions.
