- The army base Fort Bragg was renamed Friday as Fort Liberty.
- The initiative is from the Defense Department to start renaming military bases named after Confederate soldiers.
- Other bases will be renamed after black soldiers, U.S. presidents and women.
- The North Carolina base is the only one not carrying the name of a person.
- A commission report on the renaming process says the transition for Fort Bragg will cost $6.37 million.
