Defense One: The U.S. Air Force plans to change the names of two Florida military bases heavily involved in Space Force operations during a Wednesday ceremony with a guest list including Vice President Mike Pence, Defense One has learned.
The renaming ceremony has been ordered by top Trump administration officials as part of the Space Force’s first birthday. But U.S. officials familiar with the matter said the changes violate a gentleman’s agreement with congressional staffers who asked the military not to rename any bases until after President Donald Trump signs the fiscal 2021 National Defense Authorization Act.
