Fort Bragg renamed Fort Liberty in US Army base rebranding.
TL;DR
Fort Bragg, a US Army installation in North Carolina, has been renamed Fort Liberty as part of a Department of Defense initiative to remove Confederate namesakes. The move is seen as a step towards making the military more welcoming to Black service members. While other bases are being renamed after Black soldiers, US presidents, and trailblazing women, Fort Liberty is the only one not renamed after a person.
