The Pentagon announced on Wednesday it would no longer refer to its border deployment as ‘Operation Faithful Patriot’.

The Pentagon did not give a reason for the name change, but some criticized the name for having ‘political overtones’, and Defense Secretary James Mattis was reportedly not a fan.

Recently, an additional 5,200 troops were deployed to the border to help stop a migrant caravan that is still hundreds of miles from the United States. President Trump has said he could increase that number as high as 15,000 if necessary.
