Published March 7, 2025
Two years after nine different military installations were renamed to remove Confederate names, one base is changing its name back. Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth Fort Liberty changed its name to Fort Bragg.
That announcement about the renaming of Fort Liberty back to Fort Bragg came this week. And it’s got people in our area wondering whether Fort Eisenhower’s name could be changed again.
Fort Bragg was originally named for Confederate General Braxton Bragg. The new name is for a different Bragg — Private First-Class Roland Bragg – -who served during World War Two.
