Numerous military installations in the United States are or were named after general officers in the Confederate States Army (CSA). These are all U.S. Army or Army National Guard posts, typically named following World War I and during the 1940s.[1][2] In 2021, the United States Congress created The Naming Commission, a United States government commission, in order to rename federally-owned military assets that have names associated with the CSA.[3] On 5 January 2023 William A. LaPlante, US USD (A&S) directed the full implementation of the recommendations of the Naming Commission, DoD-wide.[4]
Although the individual states are not required to rename their state-owned National Guard facilities, Louisiana has chosen to do so. There are currently no plans to rename state-owned facilities outside of Louisiana, with governors Greg Abbott of Texas and Glenn Youngkin of Virginia electing to leave the names of Confederate figures in place.
