“We will update the inventory list in collaboration with the Department of Defense, including its sub-agencies and the military branches, as we continue to identify assets within our area of consideration,” Naming Commission Chair Michelle Howard said on Wednesday.
Howard said the work of the commission is vital to understanding the scope and estimated cost of renaming or removing Confederate-named assets and will enable them to provide the “most accurate report possible” to Congress.
The commission must complete its review by October 1 and submit a report to the US House and Senate Armed Services committee that will include cost estimates for removing or renaming assets.
