What is the current official name and installation scale of the base?

Summary Answer
The installation officially operates as Fort Bragg following a Department of Defense redesignation order on February 10, 2025, honoring World War II paratrooper Pfc. Roland L. Bragg. The post spans 284.5 square miles (over 172,000 acres) across Cumberland, Hoke, Harnett, and Moore counties, generating $9.5 billion in annual regional economic activity.

Service members and families frequently encounter both names in search queries, navigation apps, and government contracts because the installation held the designation Fort Liberty from June 2023 through early 2025. Federal real property inventories, gate signage, and directory citations recognize Fort Bragg as the primary canonical designation, while maintaining Fort Liberty as a documented historical alias to ensure accurate routing.

Summary Answer
Incoming soldiers report in OCPs to the 18th Airborne Corps Replacement Company at 4-1437 Normandy Drive, which runs 24 hours a day.
