- Fort Benning is a U.S. Army base 125 miles away from the city of Atlanta, Georgia. It is first mentioned by Shane to Rick (and the other survivors) that the base is a better choice over the CDC for shelter in the episode, "Wildfire". However, the survivors chose to first travel to the CDC, but after finding a "dead end" there; the survivors decided to head towards the Fort Benning Military Base. However they later learned from Dave and Tony that Fort Benning was overrun but due to their un-trustworthiness it's unknown if they were telling the truth. However Mitch Dolgen states that he was stationed there when it was overrun and stole a tank, revealing Dave and Tony were telling the truth.
- Fort Benning is a United States Army post outside Columbus, Georgia. Fort Benning supports more than 120,000 active-duty military, family members, reserve component soldiers, retirees, and civilian employees on a daily basis. It is a power projection platform, and possesses the capability to deploy combat-ready forces by air, rail, and highway. Fort Benning is the home of the United States Army Maneuver Center of Excellence, the United States Army Armor School, United States Army Infantry School, the Western Hemisphere Institute for Security Cooperation (formerly known as the School of the Americas), elements of the 75th Ranger Regiment, 3rd Brigade – 3rd Infantry Division, and many other additional tenant units.
- Just off U.S. 27, five miles east of the Georgia-Alabama border, lies a 182,000-acre self-contained slice of Pleasantville, where moms wait on porches behind white picket fences for school buses to drop off their kids. This picturesque community of about 35,000 is in many ways a typical small town, with a grocery store, a gas station and a thrift shop, but the similarities go only so far. Fort Benning, located within Columbus, Ga., is the nation's second-largest Army post. About 18% of the city's residents live on post, and among the soldiers are 32 shotgun, rifle and pistol shooters -- men and women, ages 19 to 45 -- who are part of the U.S. Army Marksmanship Unit. They are the most eagle-eyed and granite-nerved of all prospective Olympians.

| - Fort Benning is a United States Army post outside Columbus, Georgia. Fort Benning supports more than 120,000 active-duty military, family members, reserve component soldiers, retirees, and civilian employees on a daily basis. It is a power projection platform, and possesses the capability to deploy combat-ready forces by air, rail, and highway. Fort Benning is the home of the United States Army Maneuver Center of Excellence, the United States Army Armor School, United States Army Infantry School, the Western Hemisphere Institute for Security Cooperation (formerly known as the School of the Americas), elements of the 75th Ranger Regiment, 3rd Brigade – 3rd Infantry Division, and many other additional tenant units. Since 1918, Fort Benning, has served as the Home of the Infantry. Since 2005, Fort Benning has been transformed into the Maneuver Center of Excellence, as a result of the 2005 Base Realignment and Closure (BRAC) Commission's decision to consolidate a number of schools and installations to create various "centers of excellence." Included in this transformation was the move of the Armor School from Fort Knox to Fort Benning.

* A military base with a small-town feel is home to sharpshooters who train to serve their country on the sports field and beyond The Army Marksmanship Unit recruited Olympians such as Sgt. 1st Class Daryl Szarenski. By Brian Cazenueve Just off U.S. 27, five miles east of the Georgia-Alabama border, lies a 182,000-acre self-contained slice of Pleasantville, where moms wait on porches behind white picket fences for school buses to drop off their kids. This picturesque community of about 35,000 is in many ways a typical small town, with a grocery store, a gas station and a thrift shop, but the similarities go only so far. Fort Benning, located within Columbus, Ga., is the nation's second-largest Army post. About 18% of the city's residents live on post, and among the soldiers are 32 shotgun, rifle and pistol shooters -- men and women, ages 19 to 45 -- who are part of the U.S. Army Marksmanship Unit. They are the most eagle-eyed and granite-nerved of all prospective Olympians. The team members are held back from combat to bring the military glory through sports. Since the unit was formed in 1956 by President Dwight Eisenhower to improve the Army's shooting proficiency, its members have won 40 world and 22 Olympic medals. Physical training starts at 8 a.m., when shot and rifle teams begin their workout with squats and crunches. They wear identical Army T-shirts, black shorts and sneakers. Soon, across seven ranges that cover 260 acres, a crackle of gunshots breaks the morning calm and the scent of damp grass carries a hint of what smells like freshly lit matches. Most of the athletes come from hunting backgrounds -- handling guns since they were seven or eight -- and were recruited by the Army just to be in the unit. "When I first started shooting as a kid, I told my dad I wanted to go to the Olympics," says Vincent Hancock, who won the world skeet title in 2005 at age 16. "And I've been shooting for that ever since." There is some time to kick back -- say, during a trip to the Four Winds restaurant, which serves a one-pound Sniper Burger -- but not for slacking off. The stakes for poor performance can be high. Those at the bottom, about 20% each year, can be dropped from the program, placed into what the shooters call Big Army and are likely to be sent abroad. Yet few soldier-athletes fear assignment. Rob Harbison, now a lieutenant colonel, left during the 1991 national championships when he was called to join operation Desert Storm in Kuwait. "We're soldiers first," says Harbison, a '96 Olympian in air rifle. "It was what I signed up to do." It is a typical display of frankness in a place where you can always find straight shooters.
