I am sure you all are familar with our airline name rule, if not look at this.

Someone recently asked for "United States Transportation Command", while this is not a commercial airline, it is a government agency involved in transporting stuff for the US Government. Wikipedia describes is function as:
USTRANSCOM coordinates missions worldwide using both military and commercial transportation resources. It is composed of three service component commands: The Air Force's Air Mobility Command, the Navy's Military Sealift Command and the Army's Surface Deployment and Distribution Command.
I said no to the requested name change, but should I have done so, what are others opinions on this?

Hi Joe

In my humble opinion, I agree with you on the decision.. Anything named remotely to real world operations, unless of course the VA applying has got the correct certified approval letters, can just cause issues I know you don`t want.

Keep up the good work, I`m enjoying myself here. :D

The decision is correct; even more so when it concerns a Government agency
