FORT CAVAZOS, Texas — The U.S. Army base formerly known as Fort Hood in central Texas was officially changed to Fort Cavazos on Tuesday during a ceremony at the III Armored Corps Headquarters in honor of the first Latino four-star general in the Army, Gen. Richard Edward Cavazos.
"General Cavazos was known around the Army as a battle proven warrior," Lt. Gen. Sean Bernabe, Commanding General of III Armored Corps, said at the ceremony."A soldier's soldier, as a master trainer, as a military innovator, as a mentor and as a humble servant leader."
Bernabe explained how Cavazos led his company in Korea through a heavy barrage and assaults on the enemy position three times, as they destroyed vital enemy equipment and personnel. Cavazos remained alone on the enemy outpost to search for missing men while exposed to heavy hostile fire. He located five men who had been wounded in the action and evacuated them one at a time.
