The war department was established by the Congress in August 1789 to operate and maintain the maintenance of military branches. After a brief name change in the National Military Establishment after World War II, it was converted into the Department of Defense.
White House Deputy Press Secretary Anna Kelly told Fox News that the change occurs amid the restoration of American military values.

Trump said that the name change was announced after “either in the next week”.
“You know, we call it the Defense Department, but among us, I think we are going to change the name,” the President said in the first White House in the week. “You want to know the truth, I think we are going to get some information on it, maybe soon.”

Trump said, “I am sure the Congress will be with him if we need it. I don’t think we need it too. But if we need it, I am sure that the Congress will go with,” Trump said. “Defense is very defensive. And we want to be defensive, but we also want to be aggressive if we have to be. So, it seemed just as a better name to me.”
