Fort Pickett will be redesignated as Fort Barfoot during a ceremony March 24, 2023, in the Fort Pickett area near Blackstone, Virginia. The post is being redesigned in honor of Col. Van T. Barfoot, a World War II Medal of Honor recipient with extensive ties to Virginia and the Virginia National Guard.
