History
Fort Bragg is the home of the Airborne. For more than half a century, Fort Bragg has had a proud heritage as the Home of the Nation’s finest fighting forces. Originally activated in June 1942 at Camp Polk, LA, the XVIII Airborne Corps was known as the II Armored Corps. It was redesignated XVIII Corps in October 1943, at the Presidio of Monterey, California. The Corp’s birthday is August 25, 1944, the same day the XVIII Airborne Corps assumed command of the 82d and 101st Airborne Divisions.
Hundreds of veterans, dignitaries, and military Family members joined at the Main Post Flagpole to witness Fort Bragg’s historic redesignation to Fort Liberty at 9 a.m. June 2, 2023.
In 2022, the Defense Department approved proposals to remove the names of Confederate officers from nine military bases, including Fort Bragg and Fort Hood. Retired Navy Adm. Michelle Howard, who chaired the Naming Commission, said that “the people who fought for the Confederacy were traitors—they waged war against the United States—so those names should be removed or replaced with people who have remained faithful to the United States.”
