FORT BRAGG, N.C. (WTVD) -- President Donald Trump will be visiting Fort Bragg on Tuesday, according to Department of Defense officials.

All units on the post will be giving him a readiness demonstration.

It kicks off the U.S. Army's 250th birthday celebration.

Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth recently paid a visit for All American Week.

While speaking to the troops, Hegseth touched on the renaming of Fort Bragg--and made a special announcement for paratroopers.

Hegseth appealed to servicemembers by referencing his own time as an army major in the 101st Airborne Division during his speech.

He was addressing a massive formation of paratroopers that represented the 17,000 paratroopers in the 82nd Airborne Division.
