Fort Hood will officially be redesignated Fort Cavazos today in honor of Gen. Richard Edward Cavazos – a Texas-born hero of the Korean and Vietnam wars.
The redesignation of the installation is part of the military's larger effort to rename bases and other sites associated with the Confederacy. Cavazos is the Army's first Hispanic four-star general.
