===Korean War===
In 1951, amidst the [[Korean War]] (1950–1953), he was ordered to Fort Benning to attend the Infantry Officer's Advanced Course, which would prepare him to command a [[Company (military unit)#United States|company]] or to serve on a [[Battalion#United States Armed Forces|battalion]] staff.<ref name=Guardia58-59>Guardia, pp. 58–59</ref> In June 1952, Moore was assigned to the [[17th Infantry Regiment (United States)|17th Infantry Regiment]] of the [[7th Infantry Division (United States)|7th Infantry Division]]. As a [[Captain (land)|captain]], he commanded a heavy mortar company in combat. He next served as regimental Assistant Chief-of-Staff, Operations and Plans. Moore's promotion to major was put on hold by a policy of the 7th Division commanding general, that stated that no promotion to major would be possible without command of an infantry company in combat. The division commander personally assigned Moore to an infantry company so that Moore could be promoted to major, and thus later become divisional assistant chief-of staff for operations.<ref name=Guardia77-78>Guardia, pp. 77–78</ref>
