// Strategic Significance
Fort Moore formerly Fort Benning is the US Army Infantry School and Armor School — the institution that trains all Army infantry and armor officers and the majority of enlisted infantry. It houses the Maneuver Center of Excellence and is one of the largest and most important training bases in the Army. The installation covers 182000 acres across Georgia and Alabama.
// Civilian Impact Assessment
Columbus Georgia is economically dependent on Fort Moore with the military community representing a major portion of the local population and economy. The Chattahoochee River forming the Georgia-Alabama border runs through the installation. Major training exercises create noise and airspace impacts on surrounding communities.
// Evacuation & Shelter Guidance
Fort Moore maintains its own emergency management infrastructure. Civilian communities in Columbus and Phenix City AL should be familiar with installation emergency alert systems. Chattahoochee River flooding affects both the base and civilian communities. Columbus Regional Emergency Management coordinates with installation emergency operations.
