Infantry Museum/Ft. Benning


Took a day trip to Columbus, GA on Thursday to see the new National Infantry Museum and Ft. Benning. The Infantry museum was very cool. Check out the video of the signature exhibit below and the pictures here.

The Last 100 Yards is the museum’s signature exhibit. Life-like scenes from eight wars in Infantry history will dot a 100-yard-long gently inclining ramp, signifying the Infantry’s role in taking the last 100 yards of any battle. The scenes feature cast figures of real Infantry soldiers, as well as a World War II glider, Huey helicopter and Bradley Fighting Vehicle.





Also got some video of a demonstration for one of the Airborne school classes of a dummy being dropped from one of the three 250' towers.
