Located just west of Fayetteville, North Carolina, Fort Bragg is one of the country's largest and busiest military installations. Forces Command is here, managing the bulk of Army units who go to war. Fort Bragg leaders make decisions that affect nearly 1 million people in the Army. Think of it as the home office for the Army's conventional land and special operations forces: Army Green Berets, Rangers and other elite groups. Fort Bragg grooms the U.S. military's next household names, including retired Gen. Hugh Shelton and Gen. David Petraeus and the world's first female four-star general, Gen. Ann Dunwoody.
You can reach tomorrow's leaders today.
The economic impact of Fort Bragg can be measured in the billions. As other communities shrink, Fort Bragg is growing. More than $1.3 billion in construction projects are under way or planned.
Elite is aimed at career military personnel and senior federal civilian workers - people with buying power. They are looking for new homes, cars and fashion plus the best education, vacations and ways to spend precious family time. Elite shows life and interests, in and out of uniform.
