III Armored Corps and armored formations
Fort Hood is the Army’s premier installation for training and deploying heavy forces. The post supports III Armored Corps, the 1st Cavalry Division, and numerous combat, aviation, sustainment, medical, law-enforcement, and support organizations. A Soldier’s administrative action may therefore develop inside a large command structure with company, battalion, brigade, division, installation, or corps-level participants.
The installation was called Fort Cavazos from 2023 until the Army restored the Fort Hood name in 2025. Older orders, investigative records, news reports, and online searches may use either name. This page uses the current name while preserving the former name so clients can recognize both.
