Key Points

  • This bill, introduced by Mr. Self, would officially change the name of the Army base in Fayetteville, North Carolina, back to Fort Bragg.
  • The base was recently renamed Fort Liberty as part of a nationwide plan to remove names linked to the Confederacy. This proposal would undo that specific change and restore the previous name.
  • If this becomes law, all federal documents, maps, and regulations would be required to use the name Fort Bragg instead of the current name.
  • The change would affect how the military and other government agencies refer to the base in all official paperwork and public records.
  • This move would likely require the government to spend money and time updating physical signs, digital records, and branding across the installation and the surrounding community.
