Fort Benning Is Now Fort Moore
2023-12-14
[MIL.COM] Fort Benning, Georgia, was redesignated as Fort Moore on Thursday, the new name honoring one of the Army's most influential couples.

Fort Moore is the center of the Army's training for new ground combat troops, hosting the basic training schools for infantry, cavalry scouts and tankers. It was renamed after Lt. Gen. Hal Moore and his wife Julia Moore.

The move is part of the Pentagon's ongoing effort to scrub all installations of names honoring Confederates who waged war against the U.S. Fort Moore is one of nine Army bases being renamed. All of the new names honor service members and their families, with the exception of Fort Bragg, North Carolina, which is set to be redesignated Fort Liberty on June 2.

#9  Maybe it's named after Rudy Ray Moore a/k/a The Dolomite. He was after all a master of marital arts.

#1  Good choice on this one.
In my heart Benning will always be Benning,
But Gen Moore deserves recognition.
