I was recently in Fort Moore for an exercise and had the opportunity to visit the National Infantry Musuem. I was very impressed with the quality of the museum. I highly recommend a visit. Here are a few photos of the life-sized diorama hall.

Very impressive scenes.

Had to pause for a moment to think where Ft Moore was having known it as Ft Benning all my life. The museum is outstanding and a similar one is at Quantico, VA for the Marines. Seems odd there is a National Museum of the Army under construction in Belvoir, VA.

Looks like a great place to visit. Really enjoy museums with creative displays such as this. Thanks for sharing.

You're welcome. For context, this is the entry gallery. The story of the US infantry is told in five other galleries plus one gallery for the US cavalry. I spent about 4 hours there and felt like I could have spent 10 times that.

I saw on the news that Fort Moore will be changed back to Fort Benning.

I can't say I'm surprised. Nothing the present administration does surprises me anymore.
