Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth has reversed the renaming of a U.S. military base, saying that Fort Moore in Georgia should revert back to being called Fort Benning .

The move reflects an effort by the Pentagon to overturn the Biden administration’s 2023 decision to remove names that honored Confederate leaders, including for nine Army bases.

The drive to revert to the former names means finding service members with the same name as Confederate leaders.
