The troops are not in Fort Bragg, NC. They are at Fort Bragg. This is a minor nit, but it bugs me. Mainly because it's far more common to refer to yourself being in a unit which is at a particular base. ("I was in the 1/15th at Schofield Barracks." for example.)

Although, more generally, I heard of soldiers being referred to as "troops on Fort Stewart" as though Fort Stewart was simply a specific replacement for "post" or "base" in "on post/off post" or "on base/of base" when referring to a collective group of individual soldiers who may or may not belong to the same command.
