Fort Moore Army Base Guide

Fort Moore, formerly known as Fort Benning, straddles the southern portion of the Georgia/Alabama state lines and is nestled between Phenix City, AL and Columbus, GA. Dubbed the US Army Maneuver Center of Excellence, Fort Moore is home to Basic Training, Airborne and Ranger School. You’ll also likely spend time here if you are a member of Ranger Regiment, armor, infantry or military intelligence units.

PCS’ing to Fort Moore should come as welcomed news to most with all the area has to offer. Easy access to abundant parks, trails, and whitewater rafting in Chattahoochee River can please the adventurer’s spirit, while exploring Columbus’ quaint Midtown provides mellow southern charm. Uptown Columbus has a vibrant independent shopping and restaurant scene, a farmer’s market, and year-round running and bike races. Big Box shopping is just a quick drive up the road in North Columbus. Across the river in Alabama, you can easily find a more low-key, rural lifestyle to escape to. Here in South Georgia, you’ll only be a few hours from bustling Atlanta, the majestic Blue Ridge Mountains or Florida’s tranquil Emerald Coast.
