Fort Benning is an army base located southwest of Columbus, Georgia. The base is named after Brigadier General Henry L. Benning, a Confederate general who was a resident of Columbus. Established in 1918 as Camp Benning, the facility provided basic training for units participating in World War I. During World War II the base provided training for officers, as well as infantry and airborne units. The United States Army Infantry School, and the Airborne School remained at Fort Benning after the war. - Metadata URL:
