An internal July 27 memorandum from Air Force Secretary Troy Meink directs officials to begin taking the necessary steps to redesignate the installation as Joint Base Lindsey Graham, citing the senator's decades of service in both the U.S. Air Force and Congress.

The base is home to the nation's largest fleet of C-17 Globemaster III cargo aircraft. Source:
