Armor and Cavalry Museum Foundation
Creating the National Armor and Cavalry Museum at Ft. Benning, GA
Since 1989 the Army has been transitioning from its Cold War force structure to a leaner more expeditionary model. The process has been accelerated by the Global War on Terror (GWOT) and the Base Realignment and Closure (BRAC).
This provides a unique opportunity and challenge to create a modern state of the art Armor and Cavalry museum that captures a vision of excellence and relevance while preserving our cultural heritage.
The museum will take a central role in supporting unit, organization and Soldier history and heritage. It will also provide the public with a window to the Army and in particular its mounted warriors, their history, and their role in national development. At the same time this facility will play an increasingly important role in Army recruiting and retention.
While the museum will provide modern storage, maintenance and exhibit capabilities for the more than 9000 micro artifacts and 250 macro artifacts it will also provide resources in support of ongoing research and development of doctrine, policy and equipment.
The museum will be a core component of the Maneuver Center of Excellence.
