Discover Fort Benning
Fort Benning, the Army post beside Columbus, was established on October 19, 1918, as Camp Benning, at first training World War I units. Dwight D. Eisenhower served there from December 24, 1918, to March 15, 1919, with about 250 tank troops. In February 1920 Congress made Camp Benning a permanent post and funded the Infantry School of Arms, later the Infantry School, and in 1922 it was renamed Fort Benning for Henry L. Benning, a Confederate general and Columbus native.
More about Fort Benning
Brigadier General Briant H. Wells, commandant from 1924, planned permanent construction, including Doughboy Stadium, built by soldiers as a World War I memorial. In 1927 Lieutenant Colonel George C. Marshall became assistant commandant and overhauled officer training in changes known as the Benning Revolution. In August 1940 the 48 men of the Parachute Test Platoon made their first jump over Lawson Field, the start of the Army's airborne infantry, and during World War II the post covered 197,159 acres and trained units including the all-Black 555th Parachute Infantry Company, formed in December 1943. On May 11, 2023, the post was renamed Fort Moore, for Lieutenant General Hal Moore and his wife, Julia Compton Moore, both buried there, as part of the removal of Confederate names from Army bases. On March 3, 2025, the Secretary of Defense ordered the name changed back to Fort Benning, now honoring Corporal Fred G. Benning, awarded the Distinguished Service Cross for heroism in France in 1918.
