News & Observer: Less than two years after Fort Bragg officially became Fort Liberty, the North Carolina Army base’s name is changing back to Fort Bragg. U.S. Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth ordered Army officials Monday to change the name. But it’s not the same soldier for whom the base was initially named.
Instead of renaming the base after Gen. Braxton Bragg, the native North Carolinian and Confederate leader who the base had been named after in 1918, Hegseth said Monday night the installation would be named after Pfc. Roland L. Bragg, a soldier who was assigned to the 18th Airborne Corps at the base and served during World War II.”
