Fort Benning renamed in honor of military couple.
TL;DR
The U.S. Army training base formerly known as Fort Benning was renamed Fort Moore to honor a late lieutenant general and his wife and remove ties to a Confederate general. The renaming of Fort Benning is part of a national campaign to change the names of nine U.S. Army installations, as recommended by the Naming Commission's panel to erase symbols that commemorate the Confederate States of America.
