Before his death, he secured $212 million for the Charleston base to go toward the Coast Guard for enhanced readiness. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cBeyond the uniform, Senator Graham has been a vital supporter to this base,\u201d base Commander Col. Kenneth Shirley said during the unveiling ceremony. \u201cHis unwavering support to the installation\u2019s mission was not just words. His support was cemented into the foundation that makes this base.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"900\" height=\"545\" src=\"\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/1000w_q95-37.jpg.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-120971\" srcset=\"https:\/\/staging.sightlinemg.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/1000w_q95-37.jpg.jpg 900w, https:\/\/staging.sightlinemg.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/1000w_q95-37.jpg.jpg?resize=300,182 300w, https:\/\/staging.sightlinemg.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/1000w_q95-37.jpg.jpg?resize=768,465 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 900px) 100vw, 900px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">The late Sen.

The base manages the force\u2019s largest fleet of C-17 Globemaster II cargo aircraft. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Joint Base Charleston&#8217;s new name was unveiled in a
