On behalf of the Maneuver Center of Excellence and Fort Benning Commander, Maj. The Maneuver Center of Excellence at Fort Benning 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. 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 Course, Basic Airborne Course, Sniper Course, Pathfinder, Reconnaissance and Surveillance Leaders Course, Combatives Course, Officer Candidate School, and functional courses such as Infantry and Armor Infantry Basic Officer Leader Course, Maneuver Captains Career Course, and non-commissioned officer training at the Henry Caro NCO Academy. The installation is also home to several operational units: 1st Security Force Asistance Brigade (SFAB), 75th Ranger Regiment and ARNG Warrior Training Center Brigade just to name a few.

Technology is a multiplier, but grit is the foundation.

While we integrate the latest tactics into our OSUT and advanced courses, the core of the remains the disciplined . We continue to refine our training to find the right balance of mental toughness and technical expertise required for the fight.

At the end of the day, it's about the grit required to win.

Brig. Gen. Chad C. Chalfont relinquished authority of the United States Army Armor School in a ceremony on July 23, 2026, at the 1918 Club on Fort Benning, Georgia.

Brig. Gen. Chalfont not only served as the commandant of the U.S. Army Armor School, he was also the chief of armor. The Office of the Chief of Armor oversees the doctrine, force modernizations, and personnel management of the U.S. Army Armor branch.

We thank the Chalfont family for their service to the Fort Benning community, and wish Brig. Gen. Chalfont well as he transitions to Fort Hood, Texas, for his next assignment.

Pro tip: Save miles on your car by driving a to work.

The Tank Commanders Course (TCC) led by 316th Cavalry Brigade focuses more on technical than tactical instruction. The course includes crew stations and duties, tank maintenance, unit gunnery management, bore sighting, armor accuracy checks, tank ammunition and weapons, screening, and tank gunnery.

Students are trained using conventional training methods, stand-alone training methods, and simulators.

Rated 0 out of 5 ⭐️ on Yelp. Worst facial steam ever.

Future Soldiers with Echo Company, 2nd Battalion, 54th Infantry Regiment, 198th Infantry Brigade, faced the gas chamber during chemical defense training July 9, 2026. This drill ensures trainees can properly fit, seal, and clear their masks in toxic environments.
