Fort Ord National Monument Veterans

As a former Army base, Fort Ord was a training ground for many military personnel.  People once stationed at Fort Ord and the families of service members often visit Fort Ord National Monument to revisit where they once trained (note: the National Monument encompasses many former maneuver and range areas, but no former Army barracks and/or training buildings).  Veterans and their families sometimes have questions about obtaining service records or the Central Coast Veterans Cemetery.  Please contact our partners for more information about accessing records or about the Central Coast Veterans Cemetery.  We welcome anyone who is interested in exploring Fort Ord to check out the trails on the monument.
