The Pentagon has directed the military to proceed with plans to rename nine Army bases and hundreds of other items whose names honor the confederacy.
Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin previously approved the recommendations submitted by the congressionally-mandated Naming Commission, and Under Secretary of Defense for Acquisition and Sustainment William A. LaPlante on Thursday instructed the military to begin the renaming process. Renaming ceremonies for the nine bases named after confederate generals will take place over the course of the year, officials say, but work to take down confederate iconography elsewhere has already begun.
