Fort Benning will officially become Fort Moore during a ceremony at Doughboy Stadium on May 11.
The name change honors retired Lt. Gen. Harold “Hal” and Julia Moore for their meaningful and lasting contributions to our soldiers, the Army, and the nation.
The Naming Commission selected names that represent and honor the heroism, sacrifices, and values of the Army’s men and women. This is the next chapter in the Army’s story. Fort Moore recognizes Hal Moore’s life as a decorated and highly regarded commander of the Vietnam War and his wife, Julia Moore, who was equally distinguished as a leader of Army family programs who changed how the military cares for the widows of fallen Soldiers.
In addition to the installation name, the post is planning for the adjustment of multiple real property, buildings, and roads, as part of a multi-phased process to implement all approved recommendations of the Naming Commission, authorized by the NDAA, and directed by the Department of the Defense.For more information about the legacy of Hal and Julia Moore, please visit
