The former Ft. Hood, TX was renamed Ft. Cavazos Tuesday in honor of GEN Edward Cavazos, the Army’s first Hispanic 4-star.<\/p>\n

The change at one of the country\u2019s largest military installations follows\u00a0 efforts by the military to confront\u00a0 racial injustice and inequality in its ranks, particularly in the aftermath of the 2020 killing of George Floyd at the hands of police in Minneapolis.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

I am sure George Floyd and those in the military will feel heartened by this. GEN Cavazos, who died in 2017, was not available for comment. Hopefully this will solve the seeming myriad of leadership problems at the former Ft. Hood.<\/p>\n

Later this week, Ft. Benning will become the former Ft. Benning as it becomes Ft. Moore.<\/p>\n

The name change honors retired Lt. Gen. Harold \u201cHal\u201d and Julia Moore for their meaningful and lasting contributions to our soldiers, the Army, and the nation.<\/p>\n

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.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
