New reports reveal that President Donald Trump’s proposal to rename the Department of Defense as the Department of War could cost up to $2 billion. Congressional staffers cited projected expenses, such as replacing physical signage and letterhead, which alone could total around $1 billion, as well as the need to update a wide range of digital systems.

Meanwhile, Trump announced the proposal during a Veterans Day address, arguing that the new name would better reflect what he views as the military’s central purpose of winning wars.
