History
It was named for native North Carolinian Confederate General Braxton Bragg, who had previously served in the United States Army in the Mexican-American War.
Dead soldiers
More than 80 soldiers turned up dead in a 18 months period before June 2021,[1][2] some of them confirmed homicides with one soldier found decapitated.[3][4]
Rampant child sex abuse
Seth Harp, a reporter for Rolling Stone, in an article that was rejected by "a major national magazine", that
The last few years have seen a sharp increase in the number of Fort Liberty soldiers charged with sex crimes against children. Reported instances of statutory rape, child pornography, and human trafficking have risen dramatically since 2021, and an outsized number of the perpetrators belonged to psychological operations units like the 95th Civil Affairs Brigade. Another apparent pattern is that many if not most of the accused served in the war in Afghanistan, where for years American soldiers were ordered to turn a blind eye to their Afghan allies' rampant sexual abuse of children.
Over a thirty-month period from 2021 to 2024, eighteen soldiers from the Army's biggest and most important base, the headquarters of the Special Forces, were charged, convicted, or sentenced for sex crimes against children. In addition, fifteen Green Berets were arrested on suspicion of human trafficking under murky circumstances, the subject of an ongoing investigation. By contrast, a search of news archives disclosed only twelve cases reported in the North Carolina press between 2001 and 2020 of Fort Bragg soldiers charged with or convicted of sex crimes against children.
The 95th CAB is a unique unit, the only one of its kind in the Army, that supports clandestine military missions in undeclared war zones the world over, primarily through psychological operations, including psychological "black ops" denied by the U.S. government.[5]
Units
The major commands at the installation are the:
- United States Army Forces Command (FORSCOM)
- United States Army Reserve Command (USARC)
- headquarters of the United States Army Special Operations Command (USASOC)
Several airborne and special operations units of the United States Army are stationed at Fort Bragg, notably the 82nd Airborne Division, the 3rd Special Forces Group (Airborne), and the Delta Force. The latter is controlled by the Joint Special Operations Command, based at Pope Field within Fort Bragg.
