About Our Chapter

The Southwest Chapter of the Western Front Association, US Branch, was formed in 2004. We are headquartered in Austin, Texas, but would like to build a strong regional Chapter within our three-state territory of Texas, Oklahoma, and New Mexico. Our regular venue is the Texas Military Forces Museum, located in Building 6 on Camp Mabry in Austin, Texas. Michael Kihntopf has assumed the duties of Chapter Chairman with Chapter founder David Beer continuing to serve the chapter as Associate Chairman.
