Get Ready for Fort Liberty: The Pentagon Begins Changing Confederate Base Names

The Pentagon has started the process of renaming Fort Bragg and other bases, as well as ships and hundreds of signs and roads, as it plans to scrub ties to the Confederacy from all installations by the start of 2024.

William LaPlante, the undersecretary of defense for acquisition and sustainment, directed all Department of Defense organizations to implement this week the recommendations handed down by the Naming Commission, an independent panel created by Congress and charged with reviewing and replacing the names, according to a press release.

It’s a heavy undertaking that includes new names for nine Army bases — Bragg will become Fort Liberty — two Navy ships and upward of 1,000 other items located on America’s military installations. But Brig. Gen. Pat Ryder, the Pentagon’s press secretary, told reporters Wednesday he was optimistic it could all be done within the year.

  1. See that priorities remain the same. A few bitch, correct and make them happy first.

    Erasing history is unethical.. it happened and should be discussed what not to do in the future.
