The Army’s latest initiative to tackle racial bias within its ranks intends to remove “anything that is a divisive symbol” from formations, which could potentially include the Confederate flag, the service’s top civilian leader said Thursday.

Even as the ground service mulls its approach, Army Sec. Ryan McCarthy said the Pentagon is “very close” to making its own decision on a uniform policy pertaining to divisive symbols that will impact all the armed services.

“Project Inclusion is looking at all these things and anything that is a divisive symbol, we do want to take those off our installations and keep that sort of thing out of our formations,” McCarthy said during a teleconference call with reporters Thursday.

Does that apply to communist groups like antifa and Black Lives Matter?
