2026 Heat Forum

The annual Fort Benning Heat Forum brings together experts in heat illness prevention, pre-hospital recognition and response, hospital care, and return to duty considerations. This one day event, supported by the Commanding General, features conference sessions delivered to non-medical unit leaders and support personnel in the morning and specialized medical content for U.S. Army health personnel in the afternoon. Expected in-person attendance is 150-200, with an additional 150-200 joining from the virtual platform. The forum provides an excellent opportunity to showcase the latest technology, products, and services geared toward the U.S. Army and the Maneuver Center of Excellence's mission areas.
