HR 1214 would legally require the Fayetteville, North Carolina Army base to be officially named "Fort Bragg." Any government law, map, document, or record referring to the installation would automatically be treated as referring to "Fort Bragg." The base was renamed Fort Liberty in 2023, then renamed Fort Bragg again in 2025 under a different naming rationale, and this bill would make that name permanent by law.
This affects service members, their families, and civilians connected to the Fort Bragg base in Fayetteville, North Carolina. It also affects how government agencies must refer to the base in official paperwork and records.
Making the name a legal requirement, rather than a matter of Department of Defense policy, would prevent future renaming without congressional action. The bill does not change the base's operations, funding, staffing, or mission.
