Biographical / Historical
Major General Bryant Edward Moore was a U.S. Army officer who graduated from the U.S. Military Academy West Point and returned there with a position as an instructor in the Department of Modern Languages. He fought in World War II as an infantry officer and was later promoted to command the 88th Infantry Division. Following the Second World War, Moore was assigned to command the U.S. headquarters at the Free Territory of Trieste occupied by the Army Command Trieste United States Troops (TRUST). This territory included post-war Italy's northwestern border and Yugoslavia's southeastern border. The mission of TRUST was to keep the peace between the two nations until further territorial agreements could be made between Italy and Yugoslavia. The territory was dissolved in 1954, and Trieste was divided into two separate zones which the two countries agreed upon. The final treaty solidifying the territorial division was the bilateral 1975 Treaty of Osimo.
