I've never know the military to be very imaginative.
There’s actually precedent for just using numbers.
Until the reign of Augustus, Roman legions were numbered, not named (with the exception of ‘Gemini’, which meant that particular legion was twinned). Permanent camps for the legions were simply called after the legion, such as ‘the fort of the 3rd legion’, although sometimes the name of the town was added for clarity (marching camps weren’t named at all).
So, US forts could simply be named for the units they are most associated with.
