The resolution directs the Department of Culture, Recreation and Tourism to conduct a comprehensive study on the feasibility of establishing a museum and trail dedicated to the Louisiana Maneuvers, significant military exercises that took place in Louisiana during 1940 and 1941. This study will involve consultations with the boards of the Louisiana State Museum and the National WWII Museum and will assess potential locations, estimated costs, and the incorporation of conference space within the museum. The resolution emphasizes the importance of preserving the history of the Louisiana Maneuvers, which played a crucial role in preparing the U.S. Armed Forces for World War II and contributed to the economic growth of rural Louisiana.

The study will evaluate potential sites in central Louisiana, estimate costs for planning and operation, and explore the benefits of affiliating with the National WWII Museum to enhance credibility and access to resources. The Department is required to submit a written report of its findings and recommendations, including any proposed legislation, to relevant legislative committees by March 1, 2027. The resolution aims to honor veterans, educate future generations, and promote tourism and economic development in the region.
