US Army Fort Benning

WELCOME! On behalf of the Maneuver Center of Excellence Commander, Major General Eric Wesley, welcome to Fort Benning’s Facebook Fans Page.

The Maneuver Center of Excellence, Fort Benning, Georgia develops and trains our Nation’s warfighters—Infantry and Armor Soldiers. We do this by combining knowledgeable professional Soldier and civilian mentors with state- of-the art equipment, and premier facilities, for dismounted and mounted combat troops to hone their warfighting skills in one location— The Maneuver Center of Excellence.

We provide trained, agile and adaptive combat-ready Soldiers and Leaders; develop the doctrine and capabilities of the Maneuver Force and individual Soldier; and provide a world-class quality of life for our Soldiers, civilians and Army families to ensure our Army's Maneuver Force remains the world's premier combat force ready to “Win in a Complex World.”

Our footprint is growing as just over half of all Soldiers who choose to serve our country as a Soldier will pass through the gates of the Fort Benning to attend some of the 100 courses offered here: Basic Combat Training, Infantry and Armor One Station Unit Training, U.S. Army Ranger School, Airborne School, Sniper School, Pathfinder, Reconnaissance and Surveillance Course School, Combatives School, Officer Candidate School, and functional courses such as Infantry and Armor Infantry Basic Officer Course, Maneuver Captions Career Course, and non-commissioned officer training at the Henry Caro NCO Academy.

The installation is also home to several operational units: 3rd Heavy Brigade Combat Team, 3rd Infantry Division, 75th Ranger Regiment and 11th Engineers just to name a few.
