In a significant move, Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth has officially restored the name of Fort Liberty back to Fort Bragg, while also giving it a new honorary designation. The name change, which has been a topic of considerable discussion and controversy, honors World War II hero Fort Roland L. Bragg rather than a Confederate general. Hegseth emphasized the important historical context of the base, now recognized as the largest military installation in the US. The Pentagon confirmed the change, stating that the renaming aims to honor a legacy that reflects the values of service and sacrifice.
