Located in North Carolina, Fort Liberty (formerly Fort Bragg) is widely recognised as the largest military base in the world by population. Hosting around 57,000 active-duty personnel, 11,000 civilian employees, and 23,000 family members, it serves as the home of the 82nd Airborne Division and other elite US Army units. Covering roughly 500 square miles (1,63,000 acres), it is often described as “the centre of the military universe” for its crucial role in America’s rapid-deployment strategy.
