TL;DR Summary

Fort Bragg in North Carolina has been renamed Fort Liberty, shedding its Confederate namesake as part of a Department of Defense initiative to rename military installations bearing the name of Confederate soldiers. The renaming ceremony is seen as a small but important step in making the U.S. Army more welcoming to current and prospective Black service members. The cost to rename Fort Bragg will total about $6.37 million, and the next installation to change its name will be Fort Polk in Louisiana, which will be renamed Fort Johnson.
