Prior to the ceremony, General Benko met with Major General Deborah Ashenhurst, the Ohio National Guard Adjutant General and they discussed areas of present cooperation as well as planned events later in the year to celebrate the 20th anniversary of the Ohio-Hungary partnership.
The U.S. Army War College International Fellows Hall of Fame was established to provide a prestigious and visible means of honoring USAWC International Fellow graduates who have attained, through military merit, the highest positions in their nation's armed forces. General Benko was a fellow at the USAWC in 2001.
