Home of the Infantry: The History of Fort Benning

Fort Benning's history tells the story of the U.S. Infantry. For most of a century, Fort Benning's Infantry School has graduated the men and women who lead as well as the fighting foot soldiers in the dirt and mud. Founded on old plantation land in Georgia, it has been one of the U.S. Army's premiere installations from the days of the Doughboys to the Rangers of today.
