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.

# HR 1214 Summary **What the Bill Does:** This bill would officially change the name of a major Army military installation in Fayetteville, North Carolina back to "Fort Bragg." The base was renamed to Fort Liberty in 2023, but the Department of Defense announced in February 2025 that it would be renamed again—this time to honor Army Private First Class Roland Bragg, a World War II soldier, rather than Confederate General Braxton Bragg, the original namesake. **Who It Affects:** The change primarily affects the military personnel, civilian employees, and families stationed at or connected to the facility. It also impacts the local Fayetteville community, which has historical ties to the base. The renaming is symbolic in nature and does not change the base's operations or purpose. **Current Status:** The bill was introduced by Rep.

Keith Self (R-TX) and is currently in committee, meaning it has not yet been debated or voted on by the full House. The Department of Defense has already announced its intention to make this change administratively, so passage of this bill would provide formal congressional authorization for what the Pentagon is already planning to do.
