To require the name of military installation under jurisdiction of Secretary of the Army located in Fayetteville, North Carolina, to be known and designated as Fort Bragg, and for other purposes.
Summary
H.R. 1214 would provide statutory authority to officially name the Army military installation in Fayetteville, North Carolina as Fort Bragg. The installation was originally named after Confederate general Braxton Bragg but was renamed Fort Liberty in 2023. Under this bill, it would be redesignated as Fort Bragg in honor of Army Private First Class Roland Bragg, who served during World War II. The Department of Defense issued a memorandum supporting this redesignation in February 2025.
If enacted, this bill would make the Fort Bragg designation official through federal statute. The practical impact on citizens would be primarily symbolic, affecting the official name and designation of the military facility. The bill is currently in the House and has been referred to committee for consideration but has not yet been voted on by the full chamber.
