Road Trip: Fort Benning, Georgia

Fort Benning is a United States Army post straddling the Alabama–Georgia border next to Columbus, Georgia. Fort Benning supports more than 120,000 active-duty military, family members, reserve component soldiers, retirees and civilian employees on a daily basis. It is a power projection platform, and possesses the capability to deploy combat-ready forces by air, rail, and highway.

Fort Benning is the home of the United States Army Maneuver Center of Excellence, the United States Army Armor School, United States Army Infantry School, the Western Hemisphere Institute for Security Cooperation (formerly known as the School of the Americas), elements of the 75th Ranger Regiment (United States), the 1st Security Force Assistance Brigade, and other tenant units.

Main Post houses various garrison and smaller FORSCOM units of Fort Benning such as 14th Combat Support Hospital and 11th Engineer Battalion FORSCOM as well as a number of TRADOC-related tenants, e.g. the Officer Candidate School, the Non-Commissioned Officers Academy, and the Airborne School. McGinnis-Wickham Hall (formerly known as Infantry Hall) is the post headquarters and Maneuver Center of Excellence.

Adjacent is the Ranger Memorial and the National Infantry Museum. The Army Infantry School conducts its graduations on Inouye Field, sprinkled with soil from the battlegrounds of Yorktown, Antietam, Soissons, Normandy, Corregidor, Korea, Vietnam, Iraq, and Afghanistan.

Sand Hill is the primary location of the 198th Infantry Brigade and 197th Infantry Bridge responsible for training Infantry One Station Unit Training (OSUT). Its units include the following:

1st Battalion, 19th Infantry Regiment
2d Battalion, 19th Infantry Regiment
2d Battalion, 29th Infantry Regiment
1st Battalion, 46th Infantry Regiment
2d Battalion, 47th Infantry Regiment
3d Battalion, 47th Infantry Regiment
1st Battalion, 50th Infantry Regiment
2d Battalion, 54th Infantry Regiment
2d Battalion, 58th Infantry Regiment

Harmony Church area houses the 194th Armored Brigade, 316th Cavalry Brigade Armor School and the first phase of Ranger School, 4th Ranger Training Battalion (ARTB). After the 2005 Base Realignment and Closure (BRAC) Commission's decision to create the Maneuver Center of Excellence (MCoE), Harmony Church is now the new home of the Armor School.

Got Your Nose

Bible in a Year:

• Judges 9–10
• Luke 5:17–39

I will bring judgment on all the gods of Egypt.

Exodus 12:12

“Why are the statues’ noses broken?” That’s the number one question visitors ask Edward Bleiberg, curator of Egyptian art at the Brooklyn Museum.

Bleiberg can’t blame it on normal wear and tear; even two-dimensional painted figures are missing noses. He surmises that such destruction must have been intentional. Enemies meant to kill Egypt’s gods. It’s as if they were playing a game of “got your nose” with them. Invading armies broke off the noses of these idols so they couldn’t breathe.

Really? That’s all it took? With gods like these, Pharaoh should have known he was in trouble. Yes, he had an army and the allegiance of a whole nation. The Hebrews were weary slaves led by a timid fugitive named Moses. But Israel had the living God, and Pharaoh’s gods were pretenders. Ten plagues later, their imaginary lives were snuffed out.

Israel celebrated their victory with the Festival of Unleavened Bread, when they ate bread without yeast for a week (Exodus 12:17; 13:7–9). Yeast symbolizes sin, and God wanted His people to remember their rescued lives belong entirely to Him.

Our Father says to idols, “Got your nose,” and to His children, “Got your life.” Serve the God who gives you breath, and rest in His loving arms.

Reflect & Pray

What false god is suffocating your life? How might you show God you’re trusting only in Him?

Father of life, I give You my life. Help me recognize that any perceived “enemies” in my life are nothing compared to Your power.

I’m Down There Somewhere

[mountainlion]

Snow at Ft. Benning? Who would have thunk it. 82 MPH gust here today with almost 60 degrees. The snow was going fast.

[radu]

Howdy, lauren. *HUGZ*

I hope you were lucky enough to miss out on the crummy weather Saturday. It was a wild and wooly front that blasted across our areas and beyond.

[radu]

Howdy, M-L.

Did you get to take Blue out for a spin today? I know you’re happy to have your baby back home again.

[radu]

Howdy, Mayor.

I know you’re looking forward to the cold blast that’s getting ready to hit.
NOT!

We aren’t either. It won’t get quite as cold here but we’ll have more rain and storms and we don’t need that at all.

Mrs. Benning’s School for Wayward Boys. Class of ‘88, back when it was the Home of the Infantry. We couldn’t have spelled “Manuever Center” and I’m pretty sure the only maneuver center in the area back then was the Chickasaw Club.

[radu]

Howdy, PRO.

Did you have a good weekend?

Have you had any dealings with the dust storms that have kicked up in WA?
