Fort Bragg is Back: Hegseth Overturns Renaming in Bold Move

Defense Department Secretary Pete Hegseth signed a memo on Monday reversing the decision of the political left to rename Fort Bragg into Fort Liberty.

John Ullyot, Pentagon Press Secretary, explained Hegseth’s decision regarding the historic North Carolina base in a press release.

He wrote: “Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth signs a memorandum aboard a C-17 en route from Joint Base Andrews to Stuttgart on February 10, 2025, directing the renaming of Fort Liberty, North Carolina, to Fort Roland L. Bragg. The new name honors the heroic service of Pfc. Roland L. Bragg, a World War II veteran awarded the Silver Star and Purple Heart for his extraordinary bravery during the Battle of the Bulge. This decision reflects the installation’s proud history of honoring selfless service and sacrifice in defense of the nation.”

Fort Liberty was renamed under the Biden Administration as part of a larger effort to change military installations that were named after Confederate leaders. The Confederacy’s support of slavery is the reason for this change.
