The US Department of Defence announced a major move, restoring the name of the US Indo-Pacific Command to the US Pacific Command, reversing an eight-year-old decision.
The US Pacific Command extends from the US West Coast to India's western border and honours the Command's deep historical roots, established in 1947 by then-President Harry Truman.
Originally established on January 1, 1947, the command operated under the USPACOM banner for over 70 years, standing as the oldest and largest of the United States' unified combatant commands.
The US Pacific Command was renamed as the US Indo-Pacific Command in 2018 during US President Donald Trump's first term in office.
Restoring the legacy USPACOM designation honours the command's deep historical roots, fostering a sense of pride and collective spirit among all who serve in the Pacific.
