Columbus Georgia Military Bases & Veterans With Mesothelioma Seeking Treatment

Fort Benning is a U.S. Army base located near Columbus. It was built in 1918 to provide basic training for troops during World War I. It was active during World War Ii and other conflicts.

It expands a massive 182,000 acres where it provides training and resources for 120,000 active duty personnel, reservists, civilian employees and families. The base includes sites for the U.S. Infantry school, the Airborne School and the Ranger Training Brigade. Every day, approximately 20,000 troops train at the base.

The U.S. Army extensively used asbestos to construct buildings where soldiers worked, ate and slept. Asbestos was also contained in vehicles that soldiers used. Service members could have been exposed to asbestos when working in these buildings and vehicles. Certain occupations were at greater risk if they came into closer contact with asbestos, such as mechanics or people who worked in boiler rooms where asbestos insulation was present.

Columbus veterans may seek medical assistance and receive mental health services from the Columbus VA Clinic.
