Bill Summary
A BILL 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.
AI Summary
This bill requires that the military installation under the jurisdiction of the Secretary of the Army located in Fayetteville, North Carolina, continue to be known and designated as "Fort Bragg" after the bill's enactment. The legislation ensures that all future references to this military installation in any official U.S. government documents, records, maps, regulations, or other papers will use the name "Fort Bragg". The bill defines a "military installation" by referencing the existing definition in section 2801 of title 10 of the United States Code, which typically describes a parcel of land under the control of the Department of Defense that is used for military activities. While the bill's language suggests maintaining the current name, it appears to be a preventative measure to codify the installation's name, potentially in response to broader discussions about renaming military bases that have historically been named after Confederate figures.
