Fair winds, INDOPACOM: Pentagon returns command name to US Pacific Command

The Pentagon announced the U.S. Indo-Pacific Command (INDOPACOM) will revert to its former name, U.S. Pacific Command (USPACOM), citing historical significance and pride. The name change, reversing a 2018 decision under President Trump, reflects no operational changes. The move aligns with broader Pentagon rebranding efforts, including a proposed legislative change to rename the Department of Defense as the Department of War.
