Trump to Restore Names of Confederate Generals, Including Robert E. Lee, to Army Bases

  • President Donald Trump announced on June 10, 2025, plans to restore the original names of seven U.S. Army bases renamed under the Biden administration.
  • This announcement reverses a 2021 law requiring removal of Confederate commemorations from military assets, which had prompted a naming commission to rename the bases.
  • The restored bases include Fort Hood , Fort Pickett , Fort Gordon , Fort Rucker , Fort Polk , Fort A.P. Hill , and Fort Robert E. Lee, reflecting names of past Confederate leaders.
  • Trump emphasized his opposition to renaming the forts, recalling that many battles were won there and asserting that such changes will not be allowed to occur again.
  • This move reasserts traditional base names amid the Army's 250th anniversary celebrations, including a military parade in Washington D.C. on Flag Day, June 14, 2025.
