Auburn University and Fort Benning have agreed to a 10-year, $18 million partnership for the university’s Department of Risk Management & Safety (RMS) to assume management of the Georgia Army base’s environmental services.

The Intergovernmental Support Agreement connects the university and military base – which are 40 miles apart – in a long-term partnership that will expand research opportunities for Auburn. The university’s RMS will support Fort Benning’s environmental compliance program needs beginning in April for the next decade.
