The first wave of soldiers living in the Smoke Hill barracks have moved to new locations on Fort Bragg after the Army’s top senior enlisted adviser deemed them substandard last month, officials announced Wednesday.
As of Wednesday, 100 soldiers have been relocated, 55 certificates have been approved to allow qualified soldiers to find privatized housing on or off post, and another 380 certificates are in the process of approval, a statement from post officials said.
“The movement of our service members is a deliberate and phased approach to have the proper spaces to support these relocations and ensure the safety and quality of life of our soldiers,” the statement said.
Officials estimated last month that about 1,200 soldiers total will be relocated because of mold, outdated ventilation systems and aging buildings.

I was just at Fort Bragg a couple weeks ago and I was appalled at the condition of the base. I was stationed there for over a decade and cannot believe it is the same place. There are sections that look abandoned. I can not understand where the Sergeants Major are that would allow the grass to get that high and the paint to peel that bad. Pope Air Force Base was always impeccable. Pope Army Airfield also appears to be abandoned.
They could repair the base much faster it they took the millions of dollars it will cost to change all the maps, Signs, and publications from Fort Bragg to Fort Liberty and repaired the base first. The Army and the Government as a whole should prioritize the critical from the not so critical.
