Julia Compton Moore (February 10, 1929 – April 18, 2004) was the wife of Hal Moore, a United States Army officer. Her efforts and complaints in the aftermath of the Battle of Ia Drang prompted the U.S. Army to set up survivor support networks and casualty notification teams consisting of uniformed officers, which are still in use.
In 2023, Fort Benning, Georgia, was renamed Fort Moore in honor of Moore and her husband.
In 2025, Fort Moore, Georgia, was renamed Fort Benning under President Trump.
