The congressional commission tasked with removing Confederate-related names from military bases is set to review more than 750 items for possible renamings or removals.
The Naming Commission, created by Congress in 2021 to eliminate references to the Confederacy in military assets nationwide, will review items such as military bases, bridges, paintings, monuments, and streets, among other things. After reviewing each item on its list, the commission will draft a report detailing its recommendations for removal along with a cost estimate.
