We are an association of multi-disciplined military and civilian engineers working together to better understand our Nation's major engineering challenges.

Our members include Engineers, Architects, Contractors, Designers, Environmental Professionals, Landscape Architects, Marketing Professionals, Planners and other interested parties and organizations.

Established in 1963, the Fort Benning - Columbus Post is primarily made up of members living in West- Central Georgia and Eastern Alabama.  Fort Benning is home of the Infantry, the 11th EN BN and HQ 75th Ranger Regiment, Airborne and Ranger Schools and where 30,000 complete basic training every year.  Fort Benning is also home to an area office of the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers - Savannah District. 

Currently the Post has 68 individuals.

We are thrilled with the significant growth Fort Benning will realize over the next 6-years due to the recommendations of the Base Realignment & Closure (BRAC) Commission and the privatization of on-Post housing under the Residential Communities Initiative.  Fort Benning will transform into the Maneuver Center of Excellence, combining Infantry, Armor, and Cavalry institutional training.  Our members are eager to promote SAME to the local community and this new growth offers exciting opportunities for the local Post.  We encourage you to look over our Web site and consider attending one of our monthly meetings. Whether you are looking for Professional Development Hours or are interested in learning more on what is hot in today's engineering community, the Fort Benning-Columbus Post is the place for you!
