Well worth the trip! I went last fall and had a great time.

Is this the collection that used to be at the Aberdeen Proving Grounds?

I saw the collection a few months ago when one of my boys graduated OSUT and was pretty impressed. Well worth the time.

Visiting the facility cost nothing; correcting your newly minted tanker son on vehicle identification was priceless. About forty-five years of painting micro armor and dozens of years in the Army ought to be good for something. :)

p.s. Most of the vehicles at the Ft. Benning facility came from APG and a few vehicles from Ft. Knox.

I saw the Fort Knox collection when I was there in 1976. I even got to climb on a Soviet APC.
My son works at Fort Benning/ Moore for the base commander. He did assist at the Infantry museum several years ago.
I am sure he will take his family at some point.
Thanks for posting.
