Fort Bragg 2.0: Army base reverts to its old name, but with a new namesake

Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth says the Army base that has been called Fort Liberty since 2023 will revert to its original name, Fort Bragg.

A U.S. Army base originally named after a Confederate general, then renamed Fort Liberty, will revert to the name Fort Bragg. Its new namesake is WWII hero Roland Bragg — unbeknownst to his family.
