Yesterday, Feb. 10, Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth signed a memorandum renaming Fort Liberty in North Carolina to Fort Bragg.
The new name now pays tribute to a different significant military figure in history, Pfc. Roland L. Bragg. Bragg was a World War II hero who earned the Silver Star and Purple Heart for his exceptional courage during the Battle of the Bulge. This change underscores the installation’s legacy of recognizing those who have demonstrated extraordinary service and sacrifice for the nation.
This proposal comes less than two years after the initial renaming of the base. A decision that had been years in the making, with meetings held as early as September 2021 to gauge public opinion on what the new name should be.
The name-change process cost approximately $8 million for the “signage, infrastructure and other technologies,” according to Colonel John Wilcox.
The cost to change the name back to Fort Bragg has yet to be confirmed.
