Abstract:

A post-war Fort Bragg differed greatly from a pre-World War II fort. During worldwide conflict approximately 100,000 men were stationed there but in 1946 a mere 30,000 soldiers still occupied the fort. Reduction in troop numbers also led to changes in base infrastructure. Reductions led to repurposing fort facilities during peaceful post-war years which included expanding weapons testing acreage.
