Fort Benning

In May 2023 the post became Fort Moore, for Lt. Gen. Harold Moore and his wife Julia, the first Army installation named in part for a military spouse. Hegseth ordered the reversion on 3 March 2025, and the Benning name returned attached not to Confederate general Henry Benning but to Cpl. Fred Benning, a World War I infantryman. Steve Moore, the Moores' son, told CBS News he had to ask how a couple of years of service compared with his parents' lifetime of it. A note on the map pin: open map data offered a close but not exact match for this place, so the marker may sit slightly off. If it looks wrong, please flag this entry so it can be checked.
