Under the Biden administration, Fort Bragg’s name was changed to Fort Liberty, but under the new Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth, it has since been changed back.

Per USA Today:

President Donald Trump is visiting Fort Bragg in North Carolina on June 10 as part of the U.S. Army’s 250th birthday celebrations.

His visit comes ahead of the major military parade happening in Washington, D.C., this weekend, which also falls on Trump’s 79th birthday. The event will feature soldiers, tanks and helicopters, to name a few.

When former President Joe Biden visited the most populous army base in the country back in 2023, it went by the name Fort Liberty. But when first lady Melania Trump visited in 2019, it was called Fort Bragg.

So what’s behind the name flip-flop?

Congress passes law following racial justice movements that prompts ‘Fort Liberty’

The base was originally named after General Braxton Bragg, who served in the Confederate army in the Civil War.

In 2021, Congress passed a law that banned naming military assets after anyone who voluntarily served or held leadership in the Confederacy. The move came out of the groundswell of racial justice movements in 2020 after the death of George Floyd at the hands of police. The Confederate states fought against the U.S in the Civil War, largely in a failed effort to protect their states’ rights to enslave human beings.

It was estimated to cost $8 million to update the name of the base at the time.

Hegseth changes base name back, honoring a different soldier

In February 2025, Secretary of State Pete Hegseth announced he was changing the name from Fort Liberty, as it was renamed in 2023, back to Fort Bragg.

“Bragg is back,” Hegseth previously told reporters. “It’s about that legacy. It’s about the connection to the community, to those who served.”But technically, the base is no longer named after a Confederate soldier.

The new name pays tribute to Pfc. Roland L. Bragg, the Department of Defence announced. He was a World War II veteran who earned a Silver Star and Purple Heart for his actions during the Battle of the Bulge.
