Fort Hunter Liggett

Fort Hunter Liggett, established in 1940, is a United States Army installation located in Monterey County, California. Originally part of the Hearst Ranch, the land was acquired by the Army to serve as a training and maneuver area during World War II. Over the decades, Fort Hunter Liggett has been utilized for large-scale field exercises, weapons testing, and as a key training site for Army Reserve and National Guard units. Today, it remains the largest Army Reserve installation in the western United States, supporting a wide range of military training operations and joint exercises.
