Fort Benning gears up to host the annual Infantry Warfighting Conference this Tuesday through Thursday. Top Army brass will be in attendance, as well as a bevy of military guests.

A Columbus resident, who is recognized in the Ranger Hall of Fame, will receive an award. Post commander Maj. Gen. Walt Wojdakowski is slated to deliver an address on the "State of the Infantry."

Other senior and field commanders are set to discuss, inter alia, the coming BRAC realignment project, and their experiences in combat with renovated, "modular" force deployments. Over a hundred distributors and organizations will display their wares during the event.
