一名白宫官员和熟悉行政命令草案的消息人士告诉美国广播公司新闻，预计唐纳德·特朗普总统将于明天签署一项行政命令，将国防部更名为战争部。
该部门的正式更名需要国会采取行动，但预计该命令将表示，新名称可用于官方通信和仪式场合以及非法定文件。
白宫证实，国防部长也可能使用战争部长的头衔。
特朗普几个月来一直在取笑更名，上个月他告诉记者，他认为他不需要国会批准才能更改名称。
“我们正要去做。如果我们需要的话，我相信国会会同意的。我认为我们甚至不需要那个，”特朗普上个月说。
Trump to sign order renaming Pentagon 'Department of War': Sources
President Donald Trump is expected to sign an executive order tomorrow renaming the Department of Defense the Department of War, a White House official and sources familiar with a draft of the executive order told ABC News.
The formal renaming of the department would require Congress to act, but the order is expected to say the new name can be used in official correspondence and ceremonial contexts and non-statutory documents.
The Secretary of Defense may also use the title of Secretary of War, the White House confirmed.
Trump has teased the renaming for months and last month told reporters he didn't think he needed congressional approval to change the name.
“We’re just going to do it. I’m sure Congress will go along if we need that. I don’t think we even need that,” Trump said last month.
