First lady Jill Biden will visit with members of the military and their families at Fort Benning this week, the White House has announced.
Biden’s visit on Thursday and Friday will also include a stop at the U.S. Army Maneuver Center of Excellence, a consolidated military training school also located on the base.
The trip is part of the “Joining Forces” initiative first launched in 2011 by first lady Michelle Obama and Biden, who was then second lady. The mission is to support active-duty personnel and veterans, as well as their families and caregivers, through employment support, educational resources and health and wellness programs.
