TL;DR

Republican lawmakers are backing the Trump-ordered bid to rename the Defense Department the Department of War, inserting language into must-pass defense bills to make the change official. The measure has advanced in early House and Senate versions but faces Democratic and procedural hurdles, and it would also rename Army bases honoring Confederate figures. The plan carries a price tag—CBO estimates costs could reach about $125 million.
