OZARK — A timeline for the proposed renaming of Fort Rucker and challenges facing Army recruiting were key topics of discussion by the chief of staff of the United States
Chief of Staff Col. Whitney Gardner said an exact timeline for implementation of the proposed name change to Fort Novosel is not certain, but that Part 1 of the three-part report conducted by the Department of Defense Commission charged with evaluating the renaming of nine military installations named for Confederate leaders has been submitted for consideration.
Naming Commission recommendations, in addition to the Home of Army Aviation, are to name change Fort Benning, Ga. to Fort Moore; Fort Bragg, N.C. to Fort Liberty; Fort Gordon, Ga. to Fort Eisenhower; Fort A.P. Hill, Va. to Fort Walker; Fort Hood, Texas to Fort Cavazos; Fort Lee, Va. to Fort Gregg-Adams; Fort Pickett, Va. to Fort Barfoot; and Fort Polk, La. to Fort Johnson

If accepted by Congress, the renaming plan will be implemented by Jan. 1, 2024. “While we anticipate that renaming activities would take place around that time-frame, the role of the commission is strictly to provide recommendations, not execute activities on behalf of the Department of Defense,” according to the naming commission website.
