Trump cuts 'Indo' from Pacific military command's name, reverses own decision| USPACOM| China

The United States has officially restored the name of the US Pacific Command, replacing the US Indo-Pacific Command designation that had been adopted in 2018. Announcing the decision on June 16, the US Department of War said the move honours the command's legacy dating back to 1947, when it was established by President Harry S. Truman. Officials said the restored name reflects decades of military history, regional partnerships, and operations across the Pacific.
